      Hi @antran_adobe, Thanks for taking the time to answer our questions today!

      “

      HI

      is there a way I can call the xtk.write to insert data from the Message center template or within the personalized block? I am executing the template event via SOAP Api usingRT event so I also want to capture some on those data  ( email/name/order info) on the campaign.

      ”

        Hi @vendimb15716755,

        The data that you post within the API call does come back down to the Control instance (usually this is the Marketing instance).

         

        This is found under: /Message Center/Event history/

         

         

        This is available within the nms:eventHisto [Event XML]. From here, you can run a workflow on the Marketing instance to query the eventHisto table and parse the XML and then write the results to a schema.

         

        The other solution is to make an additional API call to the Marketing instance (right after the one to trigger the RT event) to write the same data set to a custom schema.

          Thank you for coming to the Coffee Break!

           

          I would like to leave the following notes/tips regarding Message Center:

           

          1) Ensure that you have workflow supervisors set up for Message Centers technical workflows: mcSynch_mcExec*. This will enable you to react quickly if there are any issues with the workflows.

           

          2) Keep an eye on "Message Center service level" report. https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/campaign-classic/using/transactional-messaging/reports/message-center-service-level.html?lang=en

           

          3) Unpublish templates that are no longer in use to keep the system as clean as possible as well as avoiding in sending an unwanted transactional message by mistake. Please note that this capability is available starting Campaign 20.2 release. https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/campaign-classic/using/transactional-messaging/message-templates/publishing-message-templates.html?lang=en

           

          4) Testing message center:

          From a marketer’s perspective, you can follow the testing as outlined below: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/campaign-classic/using/transactional-messaging/message-templates/testing-message-templates.html?lang=en,

           

          However, from a developer perspective, once Templates are published to the Execution instance, make sure you can trigger an event and receive the email successfully. You can perform tests using tools such as SoapUI or Postman.

           

          Also ensure that the IP(s) for any systems that trigger the API calls are on the Allowlist for the Message Center instance(s). Additionally, ensure that your internal firewalls allow outbound traffic to the Message Center instance.
