Bulk Updater App

The bulk updater app is used to update fields in a WMS processes with information from other sources. In order to use this application your process will have an API and JSON code applicable to the automated changes you want to make to the process.

What you must have

  • An API Key (downloadable from your digital or channel dashboard)
  • JSON Code for your process (downloadable from your digital or channel dashboard)
    • This will be created using your source data field headers and the target ones (WMS process)
    • NOTE: The report headers cannot have symbols such as these because they break the JSON Code:
      • Commas ','
      • Ampersand '&'
      • Exclamation mark '!'
      • Double quotes ' " '
      • Brackets '()'
      • Asterisk '*'
      • Chevrons '^<>'
      • Percentage '%' 
  • WMS Processes for your campaign
    • The WorkItems/Tasks will have autocomplete settings which the bulk updater application will follow to complete WorkItems/Tasks in the process
  • A single sheet report that gives you the information for the context values in the WMS process
    • Whichever report you use for this purpose is run and footer is removed (if from salesforce)
    • NOTE: The report headers cannot have symbols such as these because they break the JSON Code:
      • Commas ','
      • Ampersand '&'
      • Exclamation mark '!'
      • Double quotes ' " '
      • Brackets '()'
      • Asterisk '*'
      • Chevrons '^<>'
      • Percentage '%'
