Web Authentications

To select one or more fields from your database to use in the Web Authentication:

1. 1. 1. Select the "Data Fields" tab.

      2. The "Data Field" drop-down menu is populated with all of the fields from the table you selected above in Step 3. From this menu, select the field you want this Web Authentication to match on.

      3. The field (or fields) that you select for your Web Authentication are passed as Field / Value Pairs within the Query String portion of the URL. The platform lets you define what you want the name of the field to be for each Field / Value Pair. In the "Query String" text field, enter the name of the field as it should appear within the URL.

         • For example, let's say want to include an email address in your Web Authentication, and the name of this field in your database is "email_address." Within the URL, you could define a different name for this field, such as "eml" for example. Within the Query String portion of the URL, the Field / Value Pair would appear as "&eml=john.smith@company.com."

      4. Click the move bar to add this field to the "Selected Fields" list box.

      5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 as needed to add more fields to this Web Authentication. If you need to remove a field, click the "X" icon next to the field name. You can also drag-and-drop the fields within the "Selected Fields" list box to rearrange them into the desired sequence.

Note: The selected field, or combination of fields, must be able to uniquely identify a record

To use the platform's built-in parameters in the Web Authentication:

1. 1. 1. Select the "Campaign Values" tab.

      2. From the drop-down menu, select either:

         • Tracking Parameters -- this value is generated and appended automatically by a Cheetah Digital Campaign.

         • Message ID -- this is a unique value assigned by the platform to every message.
