As previously mentioned, this destination uses an open schema, so any properties may be sent to Qualtrics. Nonetheless, the data sent to Qualtrics will follow the below structure:
{
"person": {
"name": {
"firstName": "Dave"
}
},
"mobilePhone": {
"number": "0123456789"
},
"identityMap": {
"Email": [
{
"id": "Email-2Sf6C"
}
]
},
"segmentMembership": {
"ups": {
"046456e3b-18e1-48a6-9bda-d68547861283": {
"lastQualificationTime": "2023-09-05T10:43:55.602687Z",
"status": "realized"
},
"007844dd1-9e5d-4531-a4ee-05470doe759dd": {
"lastQualificationTime": "2023-09-05T10:43:55.602689Z",
"status": "realized"
}
}
}
}
To verify data has been ingested in Qualtrics, head over to the workflow containing your JSON Event, from there, go to Run history where you should see the executions of your workflow. Each workflow has a status of either Succeeded or Failed. Selecting a particular execution will reveal more information about it, allowing you to troubleshoot should you run into any issues.
If there are no executions visible in Run history, it means the workflow hasn’t been triggered yet, indicating that there may be an issue. Ensure the workflow is enabled, and that the URL in the destination in Adobe Experience Platform is correct. Workflow executions aren’t instant, so you may have to wait a short while before it completes.
