Overview

The system registers this event when the profile data of a contact changes. The profile change can be:

A modification made by the contact.
An automatic change made by Mapp Engage or another system.

You can restrict the event to specific profile changes, such as a change to the mobile number. A split can be created with this event to divide one path into a positive and negative path, allowing contacts to follow a path based on whether they complete the defined action.

Included Profile Changes:

Profile data changes entered via the user interface.
Profile data changes transmitted via API.

Excluded Profile Changes:

Profile data changes resulting from contact import into the system.
Profile data changes resulting from an XML job package (asynchronous SOAP).

API Methods
