eventBouncerTask

eventBouncer Task

This task acts like the bouncer of your GA4 party – no uninvited events get through the door! 🎉 It’s got eagle eyes for any sneaky, unexpected parameters trying to tag along with your events, and they’ll get turned away at the gate too. 🚫 No shady events here – only the VIP events make it in! 😎

Parameters

This task takes a schema of the events definition: The sharedEventParameters Array will hold a list of the parameters that may be included on any event. ( This way we don't need to defined them on each of the events ) The events Object, holds the event guest list, any event coming through that is not on this list will be removed from the payload. We can defined also the wlep ( White Listed Event Parameters ) , which will check the enabled parameters for the current event. If the current event has a parameter that is not on the wlep or it's defined from the sharedEventParameters it will be removed from the event data.
