Episerver: Import Activity
Import your Recipients' activity from Episerver into Lytics and use that data to build targeted audiences. Before you start this workflow, make sure that the user you added in the authorization step has permission to create a Webhook on the Episerver side. To provide this permission to the API user, please contact Episerver support.
Integration Details
- Implementation Type: Server-side.
- Implementation Technique: REST API and Webhooks.
- Frequency: Activity data is received in real-time.
- Resulting Data: Activity data for Episerver Recipients related to Episerver Campaigns will be collected as additional user fields.
This integration utilizes the Episerver API to register and activate a webhook. On each run of the job, it will:
- Create the webhook in Episerver.
- Activate the webhook.
The activated webhook URL will receive the data and post it in the episerver_acitivity data stream in Lytics.
