ActionInteraction

Represents an action interaction event sent using the PutActionInteractions API.

Contents

actionId

The ID of the action the user interacted with. This corresponds to the ACTION_ID field of the Action interaction schema.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 256.

Required: Yes

eventType

The type of action interaction event. You can specify Viewed, Taken, and Not Taken event types. For more information about action interaction event type data, see Event type data.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 256.

Required: Yes

sessionId

The ID associated with the user's visit. Your application generates a unique sessionId when a user first visits your website or uses your application.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 256.

Required: Yes

timestamp

The timestamp for when the action interaction event occurred. Timestamps must be in Unix epoch time format, in seconds.

Type: Timestamp

Required: Yes

eventId

An ID associated with the event. If an event ID is not provided, Amazon Personalize generates a unique ID for the event. An event ID is not used as an input to the model. Amazon Personalize uses the event ID to distinguish unique events. Any subsequent events after the first with the same event ID are not used in model training.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 256.

Required: No

impression

A list of action IDs that represents the sequence of actions you have shown the user. For example, ["actionId1", "actionId2", "actionId3"]. Amazon Personalize doesn't use impressions data from action interaction events. Instead, record multiple events for each action and use the Viewed event type.

Type: Array of strings

Array Members: Minimum number of 1 item. Maximum number of 25 items.

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 256.

Required: No

properties

A string map of event-specific data that you might choose to record. For example, if a user takes an action, other than the action ID, you might also send the number of actions taken by the user.

Each item in the map consists of a key-value pair. For example,

{"numberOfActions": "12"}

The keys use camel case names that match the fields in the Action interactions schema. In the above example, the numberOfActions would match the 'NUMBER_OF_ACTIONS' field defined in the Action interactions schema.

The following can't be included as a keyword for properties (case insensitive).
