Microsoft Dynamics (New)

Microsoft Dynamics 365 is a multifaceted CRM solutions platform to streamline processes and increase profitability in sales, marketing and service divisions.

Simply provide your Microsoft Dynamics root web address and authenticate with your Microsoft login, then you’ll be able to take advantage of the “Add or Update Contact” and “Add or Update Lead” actions. More actions to come in the future too!

Slack Connector (New)

Slack brings all your communication together in one place. It's real-time messaging, archiving and search for modern teams. With this integration, automated messages can be posted to any conversation.

The single action “Post Channel Message” only requires the use of an API token (get yours by visiting https://api.slack.com/docs/oauth-test-tokens), the name of the channel to post to, and the message to be submitted.

Mailchimp Connector (Update)

API versions often are retired, and this fix is to support MailChimp API 3.0. The current MailChimp API 2.0 will no longer be available after 2016 so prepare accordingly!

Criteo Connector (Update)

Previously, the Criteo connector was only enabled at the visitor level for the AudienceStream product. Recently, there has been quite a few request to support Criteo at the event level, so we have enabled the use of all Criteo actions for Cloud Delivery.

Google (Update)

As of Dec 5th 2016, any new actions created and any existing actions edited were causing the Google connector to fail. The reason is that Google made a change to their API:

API calls without the clientCustomerId in the header returns CLIENT_CUSTOMER_ID_IS_REQUIRED error. However, please note that clientCustomerId in SOAP header is the 10 digit account ID associated with your DDP AdWords account (i.e. the AdWords account that you created when you first signed up for DDP) whereas the clientCustomerId in the SOAP body contains an entity ID which is the ID of target account where you plan to upload your data segment.

We have updated the connector to handle this new requirement.
