​
Overview

The Customer Attribute Subscriber is a configuration-based subscriber that listens for customer attribute data from a Magento 2 source system. It replaces the deprecated prototype-based magento-2-customer-attribute-subscriber previously used in the Legacy Magento 2 Connector.
This component has been migrated from a prototype-based implementation to a configuration-based setup as part of the Legacy Magento 2 Connector replacement project.

​
Prototype vs Configuration-based

This is an important behavioral difference to understand before setting up this component.
If you need to handle a different payload structure or use case, you must duplicate this Subscriber and adjust the configuration accordingly. Do not modify an existing configuration as another Route already uses it.

Purpose

This Subscriber listens to incoming customer attribute data from Magento 2 and triggers the appropriate Route for further processing. It is used in flows where customer data or custom attributes need to be synced or mapped to a target system.

Notes

  • Replaces the prototype: magento-2-customer-attribute-subscriber
  • Unlike the prototype-based implementation, this configuration-based subscriber is not reusable across different purposes or payloads. If you need to handle a different payload structure or use case, you must duplicate this Subscriber and adjust the configuration accordingly.
  • Commonly used in customer attribute data sync flows between Magento 2 and ERP or CRM systems.
