External services

If your code calls external APIs to retrieve/push data from/to external systems (CRMs, Open APIs / recommendation engines / etc..), you'll need to whitelist them.

Add an external service
As you'll see in the response, your service may not be enabled. mediarithmics needs to enable each host if it's the first time it is added as an external service. Contact your Account manager with the id of the external service that you wish to enable.

Deploy your code

Setup the build

This step is getting a rework. Stay tuned! You can contact your Account manager for additional information on how to build your code before deploying it into the platform.

The deployment can take from 5 to 10 minutes.

Updating a plugin

When to create a new version

You want to create a new version:
  • To edit properties.
  • To let already added plugins keep their existing behavior.
For example, you won't create a new version if you fix something in the code, or change a delay in a configuration file. But you'll create a new version if the user should enter a new property value or if your code changes so that existing plugins shouldn't use it.

What to do when creating a new version

When creating a new version, you'll have to:
  • Redeclare properties, changed or not
  • Reupload your configuration files, changed or not
  • Redeclare external services, changed or not. Ensure they are enabled.
  • Redeploy your code. Think about updating the version number in the build definition.
  • Redeclare the layouts
