Implementing Campaign Manager - External Integrations

Create a Campaign Designer External Agent

Open the External Agents screen.

Click the Action button at the top of the screen and select the New Campaign Designer Agent option from the drop down menu:

This will open the New Agent screen:

Agent Name

Enter a name for the Agent

Agent File Location

The file location where Kettle files are stored, which is created on the Application/Web server during installation and for each new Client when using the NewClient API. Each client will create a path with a sub-folder of the internal Client ID. Default location is based on the application installation folder then \Alterian\Scripts\<ClientID>.

Agent File

If the file already exists in the default file location, click the drop down arrow and select the required Kettle file that will be used for this external agent.

If the required file does not already exist, click the Upload button and navigate to the required file. Only files with an extension of .ktr or .kjb can be uploaded. Other file types can be selected but will fail validation when Campaign Manager attempts to upload them.

Once the file has been uploaded it can be selected from the drop down list.

Note:

The Upload button is only available to individual users or those that are members of groups that have been granted the Upload Agent Script permission.

Validation only confirms that the selected file has the correct extension, not the content of the file.

The maximum size of a file that can be uploaded is 500KB.

If another file already exists in the location with the same name as the file being uploaded, it will be overwritten.

Channel Category / Channel Type

Channel Types are grouped in to Categories, select the required Category and then the Channel Type applicable to this Agent.

The icon for the selected Channel will be displayed next to the field.

This icon will also be used for the Omni Channel Element when creating the Campaign.
