Service plugins

You can extend the xConnect service by implementing a xConnect service plugin. Within the context of a plugin, you can hook into the following events raised by xConnect:

• Batch executed
• Batch executing
• Batch execution failed
• Operation added
• Operation completed
• Operation executing

Examples of built-in plugins include:

• The XdbContextLoggingPlugin, which logs failed batches and operations.
• The ContactProcessingPlugin, which adds contacts to the processing pool.
• The InteractionProcessingPlugin, which adds interactions to the processing pool.
• The XdbContactEventWatcher, which adds events to the automation processing pool.
• Merge handlers and calculated facet handlers.
• The default IXConnectServicePlugin, which provides logic for the service layer’s event handlers - such as the right to be forgotten.
