Transaction Attributes

Let's understand how transaction attributes are passed for activities.

Every activity has two predefined transaction attributes - reason and tags. While awarding points for an activity, data can be passed in these attributes.

Custom attributes: In addition to the predefined attributes, you can define custom attributes for each activity and pass data in those attributes.

Note: "transaction_attributes" is mandatory only for 3 of the predefined activities.

made_a_purchase activity

Mandatory attributes are order_id, order_total, order_subtotal.

The order_subtotal should be greater than 0.01

A sample structure of the transaction_attributes for the made_a_purchase activity is given below:

{
"tags" : ["tag1","tag2"],
"reason" : "purchase",
"order_id" : "75",
"coupons" : "$5OFFVYZ,$10FFEDT,$05RTNVLW",
"order_total" : "1000",
"order_subtotal" : "1000",

"products" : [{
"product_id": "112",
"product_quantity": "1",
"product_category": "tshirt", blue range, on sale",
"product_price": "15",
"product_title": "Sweatshirt",
"product_image_url": ""
},

{
"product_id": "980",
"product_quantity": "2",
"product_category": "sales, straight range of pants, formals, on 10% discount",
"product_price": "10.017",
"product_title": "Pant",
"product_image_url": ""
}]

}

📘

Please Note: The order subtotal should be calculated as the sum of the subtotals of all products in the order, without taking into account any discounts. The discounted price needs to be adjusted in products and passed accordingly.

The attributes for made_a_puchase activity are detailed below:

tagsNostringList of tags can be passed as "tags": ["tag1", tag2"]. This format enables you to assign multiple tags to the transaction, each tag separated by a comma.
