Go to the Connector Marketplace and add a new Monetate Personalization Engine connector. Read the Connector Overview article for general instructions on how to add a connector.
To configure your vendor, follow these steps:
In the Configure tab, provide a title for the Connector instance.
Enter your API Username, which can be found under 'Settings > Sites > API Keys' of your account.
Provide your Private Key matching the registered public key in your account. The private key must be generated with an RSA algorithm and transformed to PEM PKCS #8 format. For more information, see: API Keys Overview and the Generating API Keys section below.
Provide your API Client ID, which can be found under 'Settings > API Documentation > Monetate Data API > Base URL' of your account. For example, if the URL is 'https://api.monetate.net/api/data/v1/abc/production/', then the client ID is 'abc'.
Click Test Connection to verify API connectivity with the provided credentials.
To ensure secure communication, Monetate API uses public and private key pairs. Key pairs can be generated with a free and widely available OpenSSL command line tool.
Run the following commands in order:
openssl genrsa -out my_key.pem 4096
openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -inform PEM -outform PEM -in my_key.pem -out my_private_key.pem -nocrypt
openssl rsa -in my_key.pem -pubout -outform PEM -out my_public_key.pem
Explanation of each command:
The above example names the generated key files as 'my_key.pem', 'my_private_key.pem' and 'my_public_key.pem', but these are arbitrary and can be named as you see fit.
Once generated, open the files in a text editor and copy the key values accordingly. Register the public key in your Monetate account and provide its private key in the connector configuration screen.
Click Next or go to the Actions tab. It's where you'll set up actions to trigger.
This section describes how to set up parameters and options for each action.
