Romain Gauthier updated UNOMI-813:
----------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: unomi-2.5.0)
> New endpoint to create / update / merge profiles
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: UNOMI-813
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UNOMI-813
> Project: Apache Unomi
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Romain Gauthier
> Priority: Major
>
> In Unomi 2, aliases were introduced to make it easier to work with several
> identifiers for one profile.
> However there is no endpoint to create a profile using an external
> identifier. Improving the current endpoint to create profile or creating a
> new one would be helpful for organizations looking to create profils using
> CRM ids, customers ids etc..
> Such endpoint:
> - Cannot not be public for security reasons, it would need to be added to
> /cxs/..
> - Would cover creation or update of profiles by external systems. If the
> profile is updated by the visitor, this still needs to happen through events
> - Shouldn't be able to force the value of the profile id. Profile ids need to
> stay secure and it's better to have unomi generate them
> - Would require an alias in the payload. Likely: alias id + alias property
> (examples: [email protected], email or johnSmith, login)
> - Would trigger the merge logic, for data consistency reasons
> h3. Limitation / to keep in mind:
> In a better world, it might make more sense to restrict the creation and
> updates of profiles/ sessions through events.
> In that case, we might need to support a new event type:
> createOrUpdateProfile
> This event type would not be public, it would be restricted as login and
> updateProperties
> Warning: To send process an event, unomi needs a profile id. However, in that
> case, there wouldn't be any. That is why it might be better after all to
> allow the creation of profiles from private endpoints. Otherwise, we'd need
> to make sure that unomi can process this event type without any profile id.
