Use custom actions
The activity configuration pane shows the URL configuration parameters and the authentication parameters that are configured for the custom action. Learn more.
You cannot pass a simple collection in custom action parameters. More complex collection fields (arrays of objects) are not supported. Also note that the parameters have an expected format (example: string, decimal, etc.). You must be careful to respect these expected formats.
URL configuration
Dynamic path
If the URL includes a dynamic path, specify the path in the Path field.
You cannot set up the static part of the URL in the journey, but in the global configuration of the custom action. Learn more.
To concatenate fields and plain text strings, use the String functions or the Plus sign (+) in the advanced expression editor. Enclose plain text strings in single quotation marks (') or in double quotation marks ("). Learn more.
This table shows an example of configuration:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| URL | https://xxx.yyy.com:8080/somethingstatic/ |
| Path | The id of marketingCampaign + '/messages' |
The concatenated URL has this form:
https://xxx.yyy.com:8080/somethingstatic/<campaign ID>/messages
Headers
The URL Configuration section shows the dynamic header fields, but not the constant header fields. Dynamic header fields are HTTP header fields whose value is configured as a variable. Learn more.
If required, specify the value of dynamic header fields:
-
Select the custom action in the journey.
-
In the configuration pane, click the pencil icon next to the header field in the URL Configuration section.
-
Select a field and click OK.
Action parameters
In the Action parameters section, you’ll see the message parameters defined as “Variable”. For these parameters, you can define where to get this information (example: events, data sources), pass values manually or use the advanced expression editor for advanced use cases. Advanced uses cases can be data manipulation and other function usage. See Adobe Journey Orchestration documentation.
