Thanks for the information. These webhooks are interesting. Yes, what I meant by the need to correlate user identities is that I'm foreseeing that I'll have user ids in events coming from separate systems, and while they will have different ids, they represent the same person. So I need to correlate them. Pat answered in the other list that there's nothing special in the Event Server to help with that. When I get to implement this scenario, I'll look at some fast persistence thingy (NoSQL probably) to store the user id associations. I'm not sure if that will be as webhook or before the events get to the Event Server, but now that I've seen the webhooks, I may go with it.
