Implementing Campaign Manager - External Integrations

External Agent Parameters and Required Fields

Open the External Agents screen.

Select an External Agent to view its details in the right hand panel, select the Parameters and Required Fields tab:

The information held on this tab is specified from within the Kettle file chosen, when creating the External Agent.

As a result only current values that are not automatically generated within parameter values are able to be edited.

PARAMETERS

Parameters are set globally and are created in the Pentaho Kettle File Settings.

By default, two parameters are automatically generated, data file directory and datafile name, these cannot be edited in the Campaign Manager UI. Multiple user defined parameters may also be added to a file.

Any Parameter with creativeui in the naming convention will be editable via the Campaign Element in a Campaign e.g. ext.creativeui.fieldname

Note: Previous versions allowed the use of an 'sdl' prefix, and although these will still work, Alterian recommend only using the 'ext' prefix going forward.

They are also editable via the External Agent Administrator Settings. Any name changes made to these Parameters in the External Agent Settings will be mean that these new values are the default for the External Agent going forward, if changes are made via the Campaign Element UI, they will only be applicable for that specific Campaign.

Parameters that are added without the creativeui naming convention are editable via the External Agent Administrator Settings, but will not display in the Campaign Element.

Fields

Fields have to be included in the first step in the Kettle file for them to be shown in the Campaign Manager UI.

The fields require mapping to data, variables or text in the Campaign Element.

For each field, select the required source data and then select or enter the value to be mapped.

There is no field mapping via the External Agent Settings, just the fields listed as each mapping will be Campaign specific.
