With 1811 SAP Marketing Cloud supports Business Event feature. Event-Driven architecture, a software architecture pattern that promotes the production, detection, consumption of and reaction to events.
In this tutorial you will learn how to activate a specific business event in SAP Marketing Cloud.
This tutorial requires access to:
-
- SAP Marketing Cloud system
The following business objects where business eventing is implemented:
-
- Interaction created (only enabled for specific Interaction types, see documentation)
-
- Marketing Campaign completed
-
- Marketing Coupon changed
-
- Marketing Object Attachment created
-
- Marketing Permission changed

- Marketing Permission created
Note: For performance reason, we recommend to only activate needed business events. Not needed business events will unnecessarily consume system resources in your SAP Marketing Cloud and in your receiving client either SAP Cloud Platform Enterprise Messaging or SAP Extension Factory.

In the popup you can search for a specific business event. All business events are related to a business object; therefore, the prefix BO is used.
