Destinations

Destinations keep your other tools in your stack in‑sync by forwarding events and profile updates from UserFlux in real‑time—no custom point‑to‑point integrations required.

Typical use-cases

Category	Example tools	Why sync?
Messaging	Postmark, SendGrid	Ensure user traits (name, locale, email verified, etc.) are always up‑to‑date before you send.
Chat / Alerts	Slack, MS Teams	Stream key events to internal channels for instant visibility.
Custom	Any HTTP endpoint	Update your own micro‑services via webhooks or REST.

1. Destinations Home

UI Part	What it shows / does
Destination List (left)	Each connected tool with its icon, status toggle (Running / Paused) and data scope (All data, Profile data, Event data).
Create a new destination	Opens a catalogue—pick a pre‑built connector or “Generic Webhook.”
Mappings Panel (right)	For the selected destination, configure one or more Mappings (rules + Liquid template).
Save Changes / Draft ▾	Save as draft or Publish to start realtime delivery. Drafts let you stage edits safely.

2. Mappings

A Mapping defines what to forward and how to format the outbound payload.

2.1 Choose Data Source

1. Events or Profile Changes.

2. Specify scope:

   • Send All | Send Specific | Send All Except (multi‑select event names).

   • Apply user filters (all users / only specific segments / anonymous only, etc.).

2.2 Customise Mapping

JSON, form‑data or query‑string builder with full Liquid syntax:

{
  "channel": "channel-id",
  "text": "👋 New {{event.name}}  \nEmail: {{user.properties.email | default: 'Unknown' }} \nUserId: {{event.userId}}"
}

Available objects

Object	Common fields
event	name, timestamp, properties.*, userId, anonymousId
user	id, email, properties.*, computedProperties.*, segments

2.3 Profile Sync

Mappings of Profile Changes fire whenever a profile is created or updated. Build the JSON body once and all downstream tools stay in step:

{
  "profile": {
    "name": "{{user.properties.fullName}}",
    "email": "{{user.properties.email}}",
    "email_verified": "{{user.properties.emailVerified}}",
    "locale": "{{user.properties.locale}}"
  }
}

3. Real‑Time Delivery & Reliability

• Events and profile updates are posted within seconds of hitting UserFlux.

• Toggle the destination off to pause traffic without losing queued data—re‑enable to resume.

• Inspect delivery logs in the Automation Logs page

4. Examples

Goal	How to set it up
Log every page_view to #product‑events in Slack	Data source: Events → Send Specific Events page_view → Send For All Users → Liquid payload shown above.
Sync verified user traits to Email provider	Data source: Profile Changes → Mapping payload with name / email / locale.
Forward ‘Order Placed’ to internal webhook	Destination type: Generic Webhook → URL https://api.internal/order → Event filter order_completed → JSON body with order properties
