Mozu’s theme engine has been one of the most powerful parts of our platform since its inception, and I don’t just say that because I made lots of it. The frontend and Digital Experience team here at Mozu has worked for years to strike the perfect balance between ease of use, flexibility, and maintainability. Some of our inventions, like Hypr and Hypr Live, have proven to be really powerful systems for making simple, SEO-friendly webpages that smoothly enhance until they behave like powerful Web apps. The organization and modularity in the Core Theme have made it easy to navigate between areas of functionality without losing your bearings, even as a novice to our system. Dozens of gorgeous experiences are built on the single codebase of the Mozu Core Theme, and you’d never know it to look at them or use them. Flexibility, we nailed.

Before we continue in this series, I’ll summarize where you should currently stand with your Mozu event capturing application. If you haven’t yet read the previous post in this series, you can find the first post here. You should have a basic Express.js generated server with a route enabled for capturing application events. You should also have a Mozu application created in Dev Center in which you enabled this application to send events to a public URL exposing your localhost generated by ngrok.

Way back in 1994—when the Internet was young and snarky YouTube commenters just a twinkle in its eye—a small wedding supply company named Crafts ‘n Favors began its journey with two founders running the whole show. Fast-forward to 2015 and they’re now one of the largest importers, distributors and wholesalers of wedding products on the West Coast. They’ve grown into a thriving business that:

Now that the hardcore holiday shopping days have come and gone, you’ve probably heard some of the horror stories. Some retailers lost millions at the hands of heavy traffic outages and the criminals who know how to take advantage. If you’re in eCommerce, your nightmare scenario can be distilled into one little three-number code: 404.

When working with events in Mozu, you’ll need a web server to capture a POST request sent from Mozu. Express.js offers a quick and easy framework for creating web services and applications with Node.js. When paired with the Mozu Node SDK, you can leverage a simple server in Express.js to catch and handle events from Mozu. In this first post, you’ll get a base Express.js server configured to work with Mozu events. In future blog posts, I’ll explain how to better handle all Mozu events through a single route, how to make API calls to Mozu using event data and the Mozu Node SDK, and how to use Express middleware to validate that requests you receive actually originate from Mozu.
