Points to Remember

• The name of the custom events must be less than 50 characters.

• The names of the custom events are case sensitive. The string attribute values of the custom events must be less than 1000 characters.

• Event attributes have the following data types: String, Number, Boolean, Date,JSON Array,JSON object. Remember that JSON objects can contain only one of these data types.

• In case, the event attribute value is in a JSON object, it cannot be used to create segments. You can only use it to create personalized campaigns.

• The data types must have consistent values that you can save against the attribute. If the data type is changed in the future, the custom event attribute data will not flow steadily in the NV dashboard.
