channelType, Address and optOut removed from v6, Alternative method to set these? about amplify-js HOT 4 OPEN

+1 we're facing the same issue

Hi @soplan @mohammedsahl
Thanks for opening this ticket. Can you elaborate a bit more on the use case for the usage of channelType ,OptOut and Address in v6. These options were removed since they don't impact analytics endpoint.
doc reference

from amplify-js.

Hey @ashwinkumar6. We use optOut to know if a user has opted out of receiving messages. We have pinpoint journeys which depend on knowing if the endpoint channelType is email.

All we get now is that an endpoint is of APNS channelType which I assume is apple push notification service? Anyway that isn't very useful for our purposes.

@ashwinkumar6

we use journeys and they depend on the channektype “email” and we use campaigns to send newsletters which also requires this channeltype. Without that channeltype the endpoint is not eligible for sending emails.

OptOut is by default set to ALL when endpoint is created. For sending emails we have to set this to NONE.

What does this even mean?
“These options were removed since they don't impact analytics endpoint.”

I really do not understand that sentence in the docs. Clearly these options are very much required.
