Custom Events

In this section, you will learn about adding and managing custom events in Open Loyalty.

Sending Custom Event

The Custom Event is a specific event that can be sent only via API, but first, you need to create Custom event schemas in which you can specify conditions. However, to send the custom Event via API, use request: 'POST/api/{storeCode}/customEvent', and here you need to specify:

• Type - in here we must pass 'event system identifier', from 'Custom event schemas',

• Customer data - data that will connect the event to the Member,

• Body - with your condition from the schema, where you need to put value for the Attribute system identifier that you previously described.

• Event date - creation date of the Event,

After sending a valid request, you will get a '200 OK' response with a created custom event ID. Also, such an Event now should appear in the 'Custom Events' tab.
