This submit action is available beginning with S4S version 2.1021.22192.

The S4S Identify Sitecore Contact submit action is available to allow an xDB contact to be identified at form submission without the need to push Sitecore analytics using the S4S Generic Submit Action. The submit action allows for the identified xDB contact alias id to be populated into a hidden form field so that it can be then used in subsequent submit actions, for example, to push it to a Salesforce staging object.

When identifying an xDB contact the submit action uses the identifier source that has been configured in the S4SAnalytics.config file

There are a number of settings that are available to configure the submit action.

  • Alias id field - Select the field where the identified contact’s alias id will be stored in the form. This can be a hidden field so that it is not visible to the user on the form.

  • First name field - Select the field that will hold the first name of the contact. The value in this field will be written to the Sitecore Personal Information facet.

  • Last name field - Select the field that will hold the last name of the contact. The value in this field will be written to the Sitecore Personal Information facet.

  • Email address field - Select the field that will hold the email address of the contact. The value in this field will be written to the Sitecore Email Address List facet.
