Will custom data formats for hosted extractors support events as target type in the future, and if so, do you have a rough estimate on when?

Hi, the hosted extractors already support events, and we are working on writing some documentation. You will need to create a custom transformation, and the result should look like:

{
    "type": "event",
    "externalId": ...,
    "eventType": ...,
    ...,
    "metadata": {
        "custom": "metadata"
    }
}

All the fields are the same as documented in the CDF API docs for creating events, except for “type”, which here is replaced by “eventType”. Please let us know if there’s anything else you’re wondering about.
