You will need the following:
Episerver Account
CrossEngage Account
User data that includes an email address
Episerver uses a file server to exchange campaign and message information. File exchange credentials are necessary for CrossEngage to integrate with your Episerver account.
Details on how to set up the credentials are available in the article on Episerver. You need to be logged in to view the article. Please mention that the credentials are for a CrossEngage integration when contacting Episerver support. The process for enabling the credentials may take a few days.
Transactional recipient lists are used by CrossEngage for recipient information when sending campaign messages. These lists need to be created by Episerver. Send a request to Episerver support to set up a transaction recipient list for a CrossEngage integration. No specific data structure or list of columns is required for CrossEngage. The process for creating this may take a few days.
SOAP API credentials are used by CrossEngage to access the Episerver API when sending campaign information. Send a request to Episerver support to obtain a username and password for a CrossEngage integration. The process for creating this may take a few days.
