A practical example
Example: a demo request event routes to the sales-alert workflow, while a webinar signup event from the same stream routes to the nurture-sequence workflow, because a rule matches on the event's source field.
What to evaluate before investing
- Can routing rules match on multiple event attributes, or only on event type?
- Does the platform log which route each event took, so misroutes are traceable?
- What happens to events that match no rule — are they dropped, queued, or flagged?
Limitations and tradeoffs
Routing adds a decision layer that can misroute events if rules drift out of date with your event schema; plan rule reviews as part of ongoing maintenance.
