Pulling in Contact GUID to custom trigger and journey via field mapping

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 30

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to reference the contact GUID when using a custom trigger (free text) and then mapping fields to contact attributes from within a Journey. In talking with MSFT the GUID isn't present by design:

Is anyone aware of a way to do this?

Thanks!

    You don't need to create a custom field and map the GUID (Contact ID) in the Journey.

    The Custom trigger delivers a dynamic parameter called ActionInputs msdynmkt_profileid, which is the Contact's GUID.

    Hi MVPHC-SC,

    As mentioned in this link, the contact property already contains the GUID:
