Setting up SmartEmailing Trigger destination in CDP

The destination can be set in the Meiro Business Explorer in the Administration/Entities/Destination tab. The setup is usually done by the Meiro technical consultant. 

Destination ID (required, not editable)

"The Destination ID" is a numeric value that analysts will refer to within the Meiro Integrations environment. After you choose the ID, it will not be possible to change it later on.

Find the right workspace in Meiro Integrations, with  the CDP component responsible for the data load:

Name (required)

The name will be visible across the Meiro Business Explorer for the users (Data Library/ Destination tab, segment detail)

Description (optional)

It is possible to add a description to the destination. The description will be displayed for use in the Data Library/ Destination tab.

Icon (required)

The icon will be visible across the Meiro Business Explorer for the users (insights, Data Library/ Attributes, Sources and Destinations tabs, segments, and customer profiles).

Exported & Mandatory attributes (required)

"Exported attributes" - values of exported attributes will be sent to the dedicated Meiro Integrations workspace, then to the destination.

"Mandatory attributes" all customers in the export must have those attributes' values known.

For this destination, both "exported attribute" and "mandatory attribute" are:

Exported Attributes: Email is required. Other attributes are optional, depending on the use case (e.g. Name, Phone, Product Recommendations). 

Mandatory Attributes: Email

Meiro Integrations (required)


"MI workspace" refers to the workspace in Meiro Integration which will be executed when the segment is exported.

To run exports you need to know the name of the workspace. You should get the name of the respective workspace from the Meiro data analyst.

Meiro data analyst takes care of the Meiro Integration's workspace preparation, and data transformation for a specific destination (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Google Analytics). Each destination requires a different (very specific) data structure.

Parameter: SmartEmailing Trigger (required)


Meiro Integration key: trigger
It is set up by analysts and needs to be the same key as in workspace variables in Meiro Integrations.

Name: trigger name
The name will be displayed for the user in the segments export parameter section.

Required field: ticked
This field is required to be filled in order to export to SmartEmailing Trigger.

Value from list: unticked
Ticked makes a possible selection from the value drop-down list. Unticked disables drop-down list.

User Input: ticked
This trigger name must be filled in by the business user in order to export to SmartEmailing Trigger.

Export segment to SmartEmailing Trigger

After segmenting the audience, go to the Exports section, where you can find to which destination it is currently possible to export the segment (It is possible to set more exports, but it requires the help of the Meiro team).

Export settings

Exportable

Exportable shows how many customers will be exported to your destination.

This number is defined by the conditions you choose to segment the audience but also by mandatory attributes that have been set up by the administrator (that must be present to export to your destination).


For example, if you segment 1000 profiles but only 10 profiles have mandatory attributes present, only those 10 will be exported to your destination.

Mandatory attributes are visible in the Data library/ Destinations tab.


For exports to SmartEmailing Trigger, the mandatory attribute is:

email


Customers who do not have email known will not be exported to SmartEmailing Trigger.

Parameters

Trigger Name (Required)


The Trigger Name will be visible on SmartEmailing as the event name of the exported audience.


Warning: SmartEmailing only accepts lowercase characters and ‘-’ for trigger names. Using other characters will result in failed exports.
