Extending Interaction History Without strategy
Hi,
We need to extend Interaction History in our application where we are not going to use any strategy here.
Could you please suggest a way to achieve this without strategy? Can you please provide me the OOTB activity which is used to write Interaction history?
Thanks,
Srini

Hello Durga,
Thanks for your reply!!
Here we are not using strategy, on click of certain action codes in our application we need to save the interaction history.
It would be possible as per Pega suggestion, but can you please let me know the way?
Is there an activity to process save the interaction history?
Thanks,
Srini

Hi Srini,
Can I ask what your use case is? What do you want to use IH for if it is not for Decision Strategies? If you say "click on certain action codes" to me that sounds like capturing a customer response, something that is usually processed via a strategy and sent off to IH via a data flow. A strategy can be simple, and response strategies often are.

Hi Perdo,
here it's a normal scenario, where users contact the customers through different channels or they might enter some action code against the customer ID. these actions and responses need to be tracked in IH, not using any strategy here.
Thanks,
Srini

Hi Srini
The normal scenario for such use cases is to use a strategy that maps the data to strategy results, which can then be stored in IH, sent to ADM for training models and/or to VBD for reporting.
I'm still missing why you insist not having a strategy. Perhaps the confusion is around the fact that strategies really have two main functions: one is to make a decision (for a customer), the other is to handle a response (from a customer). Both are implemented using strategy rules.

Hi Perdo,
here we are saving these to IH on manual actions in same way like how insert a record to data table. but here we need to insert record to IH table with all custom properties.
So, we are not going to use any strategy here. just need to insert records to IH table on a real time basis.
Can we do this by extending and are there any OOTB activities to do this and OOTB RD to retrieve IH records?
Thanks,
Srini

Hi Srini,
I still think you should stick to standard design patterns and just call a data flow that has a strategy in it, which in the end sends to IH as usual...
