Looking for guidance on how to best import our html email headers and footers into adobe campaign as personalization blocks. We have 100+ of each and I do not want to manually copy and paste html code into Adobe Campaign.

I was hoping I could do something where I place the html in a folder on our SFTP and then have a Workflow import them as personalization blocks but open to anything really.

I ended up making a lot of changes and then after some time I found that it was failing because I was running the workflow in the Web UI. Running it through the Desktop application everything worked as expected.

Hello @hurston You can update the default delivery template to have the headers and footers. This way any new delivery will already have those PB populated by default

Thanks, but my question is more so how do I actually get my headers and footers into Adobe Campaign without having to manually copy and paste the html int the personalization blocks for 100+ files.

Hello @hurston Here is what you can do.

Write a JS code in workflow to read the HTML files from SFTP server and then add the code to dynamically create the PB.

Sample Code:

 
function createPB(pbContents,label,internalName){
var newPB=nms.includeView.create();
newPB.Duplicate('nms:includeView|2029'); // 2029 is the primary key of an existing shared PB
newPB.source.text=pbContents;
newPB.name=label;
newPB.name=internalName;
newPB.save();
}


var FOLDER_PATH=""; // PATH of your folder that contains HTML files

 var FILE_NAME_PATTERN = "*.html";  //pick only HTML files
 
 
 var objDirectory = new File(FOLDER_PATH);
 
var objFiles = objDirectory.list(FILE_NAME_PATTERN,false);
 
 
for each(var objFile in objFiles){
   var PersonalizationBlockName=objFile.name.replace(".html",""); //Get file name and remove .html then use the as label of PB  

   var htmlFile=new File(FOLDER_PATH+objFile.name);
    htmlFile.open();
   createPB(htmlFile,PersonalizationBlockName,PersonalizationBlockName);
   htmlFile.close();
   htmlFile.remove(); // this is to delete the file once it is processed.
}

This code is not tested and is just for guidance. DO NOT USE IN PRODUCTION.
