Support for Multiple External Entity IDs
Clients now have the ability for a single Alloy entity to store and be referenced by multiple external entity IDs.
The most common scenario is when clients using Alloy for onboarding and ongoing monitoring create a unique identifier for an entity during onboarding, and later a separate identifier once the entity’s account is opened. To prevent duplicate entity creation and to preserve historical data, an entity can be referenced by any of their multiple unique identifiers.
Another use case is clients with multiple systems sending data to Alloy. Unique identifiers from those separate systems can be added to a single entity in Alloy.
Clients will be able to:
- Add multiple additional external entity IDs to entities
- Utilize the entities, evaluations, journeys, and events APIs using any of the entity's external entity IDs
- Search evaluations, entities, applications, alerts by any of the entity's external entity IDs
- Search any historical records by any of the entity's external entity IDs
- Merge entities and retain all external entity IDs.
