Responsys¶

Prerequisites¶

See File Layouts for SMS before integrating CDP with Responsys.

Input data¶

CDP pulls the following upstream information from your Responsys SFTP server:

• Full master contact list with the latest main subscription status
• Send/open/click/bounce/subscription/unsubscription events
  • Daily: yes
  • Historical load: Responsys only sends the last 14 days of events. Therefore, the email event history is built mostly based on the daily loads. Machine learning models relying on email engagement can only be turned on after two or three months of email pull. This ensures that there is enough data.

Output data¶

CDP pushes the SMS daily event file to the Responsys application. This is the downstream data.

To push data from CDP to the Responsys:

1. Sign in to the CDP user interface.

2. Click Actions > Campaigns+ > New Campaign.

3. Specify all the required information. For more information, see Campaigns+.

4. In Destination, select either of the following ways:

   • Use Acquia API Connector with a standard or custom destination table containing the list of fields that you want to send to Responsys. The Responsys application creates supplemental tables. You must ensure that you maintain all of your Acquia supplemental tables in the designated Acquia folder.

     

   • Send your flat CSV file to the Responsys SFTP server. Ensure that you schedule your import automation to process the CSV file to your PET or supplemental table.

Setup¶

• Provide CDP with a Responsys admin account.
• Provide CDP with Responsys SFTP credentials. This ensures that CDP can leverage automated workflows to consume the SMS daily event file.
