Building templates and components for Adobe Target

[jonathanb_1]

Hi all,

I'm looking for someone with some experience of building templates and components in AEM which are consumed by Adobe Campaign. It's the first bit that I need some help with. We already have web templates and components. How do I go about implementing HTML emails in AEM so they are available in sites.html/content/campaigns? I know it can be done through CRXDE but I need to implement it in our codebase.

(1) How do I build templates and components in my AEM 6.2 codebase?
Where should they go? What files do I need? What elements are required?
(2) Does Adobe have any good documentation about how to build these into our codebase?
(3) Is there a GIT repo that I can clone that demos how it all works?

Any resources would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Jonathan,

     Firstly the beauty of campaign and aem integration is no need to worry of consumption of custom components of aem in campaign. it is by default with one time configuration setup with out any further change required  campaign pulls content from aem through http. 

If your web templates and components are not in html format then you need to convert it. Design importer can be handy to you and more details at https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-2/author/personalization/campaigns/landingpages.html

(1) How do I build templates and components in my AEM 6.2 codebase?

I would first with adobe training to gets familiar with. 

Where should they go? What files do I need? What elements are required?

It needs to go into aem repository. Need html and mapping of elements to components.

(2) Does Adobe have any good documentation about how to build these into our codebase?

Start with https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-2/develop/the-basics/website.html    Though the example is for site & your usecase is email. The documentation refered gets you hands on & at the end for Campaign/AEM integration email template is an web page.

(3) Is there a GIT repo that I can clone that demos how it all works?

The git repo is https://github.com/adobe-marketing-cloud   However for your use case if you install fresh aem instance should have the sample demo inbuilt already and no need of Git.

P.S:-   If possible for further followups split your questions into multiple threads so that chances from many experts in there area can pitch in. Having all query in single thread easy your jobs on the other end loosing specialized areas expert opinions.

Thanks,
