Possibility to use event data in computed attributes

Hi @selliers,

Thanks for the follow-up! That’s a great question and definitely something that deserves deeper insight. I’m not the best person to answer this in full detail, so I’m tagging @ivanmi1 here, he might be able to shed more light on why there are certain limitations in the rule builder compared to the audience builder.

Thanks!

I was thinking more in the direction of using rules instead of audiences, when creating activities. But here is some limitations on how and what you can do with a rule compared to a audience. F. ex that you cant combine event data with attributes. Is there a reason for that the "rule builder" has less possibilities than the audience builder? 

Hi @selliers,
Was @tylerkrause's suggestion helpful for your use case or do you still want to log this feature request? Do let us know.

Thanks!

Hey @selliers, you absolutely can use experience events using Computed Attributes! We're using these for a number of functions such as 'Most Recent Purchase' that looks at purchase data we batch in. 

Here's the documentation for it: Computed Attributes overview | Adobe Experience Platform

Best,
