Subscriber Defined Filtering UI Guide

This guide walks you through creating a subscriber-defined filter for an event registration using the Adobe Developer Console. You will also learn how to test the filter against sample events and apply it with the appropriate event patterns.

Getting Started

We assume you already have a Registration for which SDF is applicable.

Prerequisites

• An active Adobe I/O Events registration which is compatible with SDF:

  • Only includes CloudEvents deliveries.
  • AWS EventBridge is not configured among the delivery methods.

• Access to the Adobe I/O Events API with proper authentication

  • You can either use the Developer Console or add your filters through the Registration APIs

• Understanding of JSON syntax and your event payload structure

  • Check the filtering language details

Step 1: Navigate to the Event Filtering Tab

1. Open your event registration in the Adobe Developer Console.

2. Navigate to the Event Filtering tab.

   

Step 2: Create a New Subscriber-Defined Filter

1. Enter a Name and Description for the filter.

   Tip: Provide meaningful names so you can easily identify filters later.

   

Step 3: Define the Filter Logic

1. Select the appropriate event pattern from the dropdown.

   For a list of supported event patterns and practical examples, refer to the DSL reference guide.

   

2. In the filter definition editor, specify the event attributes to apply the filter on.

   You can open a sample event payload in the sample event editor side-by-side to use as a reference while writing your filter definition.

   

Step 4: Test the Filter Against Sample Events

1. Click Test filter to test your filter behavior against all sample events.

2. Review whether each sample event passes or fails the filter.

   

Step 5: Refine and Re-Test

1. Select a sample event from the available list.

2. Edit the values in the sample event JSON. For example, modify a field value to test edge cases.

3. Click Test filter to test your filter behavior against all sample events, including the custom sample event you just created.

   

Step 6: Apply the Filter

1. Once you are satisfied with the filter definition, click Apply Filter.

2. The new filter is now active for this event registration.
