Activating a Web Plugin

Web plugins can be run stand-alone or as part of a campaign. Most web plugins that you use will be pre-packaged in a campaign by your supplier. In a campaign, your suppliers will provide you with plugins that compliment other marketing activities like emails and social posts. To make these plugins visible to your website viewers, you must launch them from the portal and embed the code into your website.

Activate Plugins Already Associated with Campaigns

When a plugin is already associated with a campaign that you have activated, you must complete a few set-up steps before you can launch the plugin on your site.

To activate a plugin that is already associated with a campaign, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Campaigns > My Campaigns.
2. Click the name of the campaign that contains the web plugin you want to activate.
3. Under Web Plugins, click the name of the plugin you want to activate.
4. Find the alerts box at the top of the page. Click Review next to each task that needs to be completed, or click Edit to open the full set-up menu.
5. In the Settings tab, change the name of the plugin and select the email address or SMS number that will receive notifications about this plugin. Click Save & Next when you are done.
6. In the Personalization tab, change any visual or textual elements that your supplier has made available, such as headers and images. Click View to see a preview of what will appear on your website. Click Apply when you are satisfied with changes. Click Save & Next to move on to the next step.
7. In the Publish tab, review the web plugin with the changes you've made. Go to these fields to access code or a link to the plugin for sharing:

   • Embed Code - code that you can embed into your website code.

     For information on how to embed your plugin, see Embedding a Web Plugin into a Website.

   • Standalone URL [If enabled by your supplier] - a URL to the plugin.

When setup is complete and you add the code to your website, the plugin is active.

Activate Standalone Plugins

If you need a web plugin, but one is not included in the campaign you are using, you can browse and activate plugins individually. These plugins can be run stand-alone, or you can add them to campaigns to help organize analysis data.

1. Navigate to Web Plugins > Browse Web Plugins. In this view, you can find all the plugins your supplier has published to you. Review the thumbnail and read the plugin description on this page.

2. Click Activate on the plugin you want to use. This moves the plugin to the My Web Plugins menu and opens the activity details view for this plugin.
