Developing Business Application

For the Web Engage dashboard, you must develop and leverage the business application to pull data from the automation process by using a trigger function. For more information about developing a business application, see Developing Business Application.

Selecting and Configuring the Automation Control

To leverage the business application, you must select and configure the Automation control used to trigger the automation process. This can be done while designing the business application form. For more information about designing the form, see Designing the Form.

3. On the Automation Configuration screen:
   1. In the ID field enter the <Button ID>. 
      
      ID is a mandatory field and is used as an unique identifier to map the input parameter to execute the process and access the application.
   2. In the Button field, enter <Button Name>. 
      
      Button is a mandatory field and is used as the display name for the Automation Button control on the form in the UI.

      NOTE:

      ProcessName, ProfileName and searchInput parameters are parameters with unique identifiers that you have provided to the controls selected, based on your automation process.

   2. Click the () icon to add new field details to map required output details.
      
   3. In the Field Mapping section, enter the required details.
   4. In the Field Name field enter <OutputMappingCriteria>.
