What this is

Zeotap CDP blacklists a fixed set of field names during data ingestion: the records in a column that carries one of these names are not ingested. Check the field names your source sends — file column headers or event property keys — against the two tables below.

Blacklisted geography fields

Zeotap determines a user’s country and city automatically from their IP address. The records in the country, city and region columns below are blacklisted for ingestion.
The automatic IP lookup is the stated reason for the geography field names. The published documentation does not give a reason for the remaining names.

Other blacklisted fields

Zeotap CDP blacklists the remaining field names below during ingestion in the same way. Do not use any of them as a column name for your own attributes.

FAQ

Zeotap determines a user’s country and city automatically from their IP address, so it blacklists those field names during ingestion.
No. It covers the country, city and region field names in the first table. Zeotap CDP blacklists the names in the second table for other reasons.
Search this page for the exact field name. If it appears in either table, records in that field are not ingested.
