Intro

Emarsys, a leading provider of marketing software, enables true, one-to-one interactions between marketers and consumers. Use Domo’s Emarsys Contacts Writeback connector to export your contacts data from a Domo dataset to your Emarsys account. To learn more about the Emarsys API, visit their page https://dev.emarsys.com/v2/emarsys-developer-hub/what-is-the-emarsys-api. You configure your Domo- Emarsys Contacts connection in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Emarsys Contacts Writeback Connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
Note: The owner of a writeback dataset must also be an owner or co-owner of the input dataset.

​

  • Your Domo developer account client ID and client secret
