Including IBM Digital Recommendations categories

In HCLMarketing Operations, administrators can configure offer templates to populate category data that uses IBM® Digital Recommendations.

Before you begin

The server that hosts Marketing Operations must have internet connectivity that is enabled. When users create offers from these templates, they choose a client ID and category IDs and names from lists instead of entering them manually.

To implement this feature in an offer template:

Procedure

  1. Select the Use Offer Integration check box.
  2. Supply the URL for Digital Recommendations.
    Note: After users create offer instances from this template, do not change the supplied URL.
  3. Specify Client IDs: you can enter values then Add them, or you can Import values from a previously defined list. See Defining the client list.

Results

When users create an offer from a template that is configured in this way, they select a client ID from the list of values you supplied. The list of category names and IDs for the selected client is then populated directly from Digital Recommendations.
