Setting up the integration

To set up the Microsoft Dynamics integration, contact customer support to get the integration software package.

Provide Episerver with the following information:

• Your SOAP API user name in Episerver Campaign. If you do not have a SOAP API user account, customer support can create this. Use a separate email address for this, not used for logging into Episerver Campaign.
• Any additional CRM data in addition to the standard data you want to be transferred to the Episerver Campaign recipient list. See Configuring additional fields for the recipient list.
• The client IDs for the integration. To find this, open the start menu > Administration >API overview> SOAP API.
• The IDs of the corresponding recipient lists, if you want to synchronize marketing lists with Episerver Campaign. Alternatively, customer support can create new recipient lists. To find recipient list IDs, open the start menu > Administration > API overview > Recipient lists.

See Troubleshooting and maintenance if there are issues with the integration.
