SAP Customer Data Cloud Screen-sets handling custom logic in Javascript

[Rvanjari]

Hi All , I am working with screen-sets in CDC for registration, profile updates, and login, and I want to implement custom handling on these screens.

During registration, I would like to trigger a REST API call (Gigya REST API) on the Submit event in JavaScript to perform additional actions.

Is this possible? How can I call accounts.getAccountInfo, and how should I manage authentication parameters?

Many Thanks,

Ruchita

Hi Rvanjari,

You can listen to the onAfterSubmit event and call gigya.accounts.getAccountInfo({callback: fn}) to retrieve user data.

The SDK handles authentication automatically, so there is no need to pass any parameters.

For a more robust approach, consider using gigya.accounts.addEventHandlers({onLogin: fn}), which triggers on any login action, regardless of the screen where it originated.

You can find more details here:

To ensure that profile.email remains unique across all users, I recommend setting up an IDX job or extension, depending on what fits best. This can then call setAccountInfo with the "addLoginEmails" parameter, making the email a login identifier.

Let me know if you need further clarification.

Best regards,

Hi , In my case i wanted to check the email address already exist , before even creatign an account , in some cases there are accounts in CDC without loginIDs , so the default ootb provided will not work so looking for a search account with the email address user entered.

I don't recommend using search during end user flow as it's not intended for that. search api can be heavy and not optimized for such use case. I understand what you are trying to achieve, but if you need the email to be unique the proper way is to define it as login identifier. I'll update my answer
