Profile Lookup and Real-time Stitching
In this section, we will perform a series of steps to do the following:
- Explore an existing CRM profile fragment
- Log-in using email to stitch an ECID based web profile to the CRM profile viewed above
Objective: In this exercise, we will perform a series of steps to simulate online behavioral events. We will look up fragmented profiles, view experience events, profile attributes and view how identities are stitched in a unified customer profile after online authentication.
