Administrators must grant themselves Full Access permission by creating a policy and assigning it to themselves.
When Activation Actions is enabled, the standard process of exporting activation results to the external application is modified. Instead of sending data directly to the external application, results are first exported to an internal Treasure Data table. This change ensures that the activation results are available for further processing by the custom, user-defined workflow. Note the following details or requirements that arise due to this modified process:
- Data Export : After you check the "Enable Activation Actions" checkbox, the direct export of the activation output to the external application is halted. Instead, this data is temporarily stored in an internal Treasure Data table.
- Custom Workflow Design : The Data Engineer or technical personnel who designs the user-defined workflow should ensure that the workflow processes the activation output and then exports to the external application accurately. The accuracy of this export process is crucial, as it impacts the final output received by end-users or downstream application.
- Parameter Passing : The necessary connector information, required to export the results from the user-defined workflow to the final external application, is passed from the Activation Workflow to the user-defined workflow through parameters. This includes all relevant details needed to ensure a seamless and secure data transfer. See Activation Actions Parameters.
- Custom Workflow Testing : Ensure a comprehensive testing of the user-defined custom workflow to verify both the processing logic and the final data export step. Regular audits and updates to the workflow may be required to adapt to new requirements or changes in the data structure.
- Activated Profiles Metering : Profiles activated using Activation Actions are included in the activated profiles metering calculation. This ensures more accurate metering for incremental or delta-based activations, as well as scenarios where action workflows adjust the final count of activated profiles.
