Message Center logon to get session token

Question

Hello, Thanks in advance for your help. I've been using Campaign classic for 1 year for regular email but have never used Message Center.

I would like to use message center to send a real time "Thank you" email on our website. Is this possible? (User enters email address on a form and instantly receives an email with special instructions.)

I'm following the help article but cannot create the session token or get the mc credentials to work. I also don't know when to use the rt server vs the regular campagin url. The documentation mentions using http://hostname/nl/jsp/schemawsdl.jsp?schema=nms:rtEvent for accessing the schema and other articles on this forum mention using https://hostname/nl/jsp/soaprouter.jsp.

The documentation link I'm using is here: https://docs.adobe.com/content/help/en/campaign-classic/using/transactional-messaging/introduction/event-description.html

Also using this link: https://docs.adobe.com/content/help/en/campaign-classic/using/configuring-campaign-classic/api/web-service-calls.html

I believe I've followed all steps but still having trouble with.

1: "To retrieve the session token, perform a logon SOAP call, then a get token followed by a logoff."

Q: Is there a sample or snipper for how to login and actually retrieve the token?

2: Using Wizdler or SOAPUI, I can POST using my ACC credentials instead of the MC/xxxx password provided by support. (They provided mc creds and tracking creds and neither worked here.)

Q: How can I use this in HTML on my website (already whitelisted)? Is there a sample code for reaching the ACC API from another website form?

Hi Rodney,

You need to get the xtk:session WSDL too.

URL syntax for generating the session and rtEvent WSDL's.

Generate session token WSDL http://hostname/nl/jsp/schemawsdl.jsp?schema=xtk:session
Generate rtEvent WSDL http://hostname/nl/jsp/schemawsdl.jsp?schema=nms:rtEvent

Then you can use the session WSDL first to request the logon method

Once you log in, you will need two information for your rtEvent call header: sessionToken and SecurityToken (pstrSessionToken and pstrSecurityToken from your logon response)

Add the header as in the screenshot below

cookie __sessiontoken={pstrSessionToken}
X-Security-Token {pstrSecurityToken}

Just a reminder, you need some pre requirements in ACC to make the successfully.

create an event Type that will be used as type in your payload
create and publish a template using your event type

Thanks

David

Hi @rodneylewis ,

1: "To retrieve the session token, perform a logon SOAP call, then a get token followed by a logoff." Q: Is there a sample or snipper for how to login and actually retrieve the token?

a. You can use xtk:session#Logon method available in the WSDL downloaded from http://hostname/nl/jsp/schemawsdl.jsp?schema=nms:rtEvent. Import the WSDL into SOAPUI and use credentials to send SOAP call.

2: Using Wizdler or SOAPUI, I can POST using my ACC credentials instead of the MC/xxxx password provided by support. (They provided mc creds and tracking creds and neither worked here.) Q: How can I use this in HTML on my website (already whitelisted)? Is there a sample code for reaching the ACC API from another website form?

a. You've to use xtk:session#Logon method to get session token

b. Then you've to use the WSDL created to make SOAP call from the website to the https://localhost/nl/jsp/soaprouter.jsp.
