Event parameter | Data transformation functions |Preview of Tealium Docs

Data transformation functions have one parameter named event. The event parameter is a metadata object that contains several properties and nested objects describing the event. The actual event data is referenced in the event.data.udo object.

The event parameter object is read-only, except for the custom event data in event.data.udo and some tealium_ properties.

For more information, see Event Data Object.

Event parameter object

The event parameter object contains the following properties:

`useragent`	String	Specifies the software the user is using, such as the web browser.	No
`visitor_id`	String	Visitor ID.	No
`_forwarding_visitor_ids`	String[]	Contains the IDs of the visitors forwarding this event. Used in the visitor stitching process.	No
