Activating segments to Dotdigital

When activating to Dotdigital you can create a new Address Book or update an existing one. We use the Activation Tag field to create the Address Book name. It will also create a boolean field on all contacts within that Address Book, with the value set to TRUE when they are included in the Segment. This will allow you to quickly create dynamic segments in dotdigital.

2994
  1. At the top of the hub, click Engage
  2. Activate will open as the default within Engage.
  3. Click New Activation.
  4. Select the appropriate Dotdigital account for this activation.
  5. Add the Segments you would like to activate.
  6. Fill out the necessary details in the settings.
  • Update the Activation Tag field - if you create an Address Book, this will become its name.
  • Select if you want to create an Address Book, or update an existing one.
Data field
Dotdigital has a limit on the volume of custom attributes, once reached you won't be able to create additional data fields in Dotdigital. To help reduce the volume of custom attributes you can turn off boolean data fields using the Create data field checkbox (this is turned off by default for all new activations). If you have existing activations, you may need to uncheck this checkbox to ensure you don't exceed your limit. If you have reached this limit and would like to remove fields, you can check out Dotdigital's instructions here.

  1. Agree to terms
  2. Click Run Activation.

You're done!

Congratulations, your account should now be integrated and activated in Lexer. We've gone through what dotdigital is, the type of integration it is, its benefits, and how to integrate and activate it. There's a lot of steps to follow here and if you feel stuck or confused please don't hesitate to reach out to Lexer Support (support@lexer.io) if you need any help.
