Auto sync of MarketingPlatform permissions
Auto sync of MarketingPlatform permissions
Here's a simple guide taking you through the process of automatically synchronising the permissions from your MarketingPlatform account:
- The first thing you have to do is to get API access to your MarketingPlatform account. You can create an API-key and token by logging into your MarketingPlatform account. After creating the credentials you need to contact the support staff at MarketingPlatform and ask them to make the API-key a "trusted token". We can only use the token if it has been marked as a trusted token. You can contact MarketingPlatform suport at support@marketingplatform.com
Remember to tell them that it is to be used for Hello Retail, as we need a unique access token.
- Once you have API access (API username and access token), navigate to Data Setup > Permissions, then click the Set up automatic permission synchronisation button:
- Now you should be on a page with a few inputs fields - as your next step you will have to:
- Select MarketingPlatform in the Type drop-down
- Paste your API username and access token in their respective fields.
- The list field will start to load a drop-down list of your mailing/contact lists from your MarketingPlatform account - once this is loaded, please select the list that you want to synchronise with.
- Press the save button
5. Now you are done, and your MarketingPlatform permissions (from your specified list) will automatically be synchronised daily.
