Best Practices for Building the Mapping Structure with ChatGPT
ChatGPT can act as your assistant for generating clean, ready-to-use JSON mappings between your website’s data layer and CHP. To get the best results, follow these practices:
1. Prepare Your Raw Data Layer Sample
- Copy a real snippet of your site’s data layer (for example, from a
login,purchase, orview_productevent). - Make sure it includes the fields you want to map, even if some are empty.
- Example:
{
"event": "purchase",
"data": {
"order_id": "98765",
"value": "120.00",
"currency": "USD",
"email": "user@example.com",
"coupon": "SUMMER20"
}
}
2. Write a Clear Prompt for ChatGPT
- Tell ChatGPT what you want: a CHP mapping structure.
- Specify which fields are traits (customer attributes) and which are event properties.
- Example prompt:
“Please generate a CHP mapping JSON for this purchase event. Map
order_id,value,currency, andcouponas event fields. Add cp1 and cp2 as placeholders for future custom parameters.”
3. Review the JSON Output Carefully
ChatGPT will generate something like this:
{
"purchase": {
"fields": {
"email": "data.email",
"order_id": "data.order_id",
"value": "data.value",
"currency": "data.currency",
"coupon": "data.coupon",
"cp1": "customParameter1",
"cp2": "customParameter2"
}
}
}
- Check that every field is mapped correctly.
- Confirm naming conventions match your schema (snake_case or camelCase).
- Ensure traits and events are separated correctly.
4. Validate and Test
- Push a test event to confirm it populates in CHP.
- If something is missing, adjust your mapping and re-run the prompt in ChatGPT with clarifications.
- Keep an iterative cycle: Paste → Generate → Test → Adjust.
5. Scale with Templates
- Save your best ChatGPT prompts as templates.
- Example: “Generate CHP mapping JSON for [event_name]. Map emails to traits, order values to event properties, and always add cp1, cp2 placeholders.”
- This keeps your mapping structure consistent across all events.
Using ChatGPT this way reduces manual effort, ensures accuracy, and helps you build a standardized mapping system for your analytics faster.
