[@arthuryazvinski4266]

Very simple and helpful information as usual. Thank you, Cameron!😀

[@mosesvuma1811]

Very helpful and informative. Thank you Sir.

[@de-frag0121]

Fantastic video as always. There are really no other videos with such a simple guide like this. Thank you Cam!

[@anitha6605]

This was really helpful, Thank you so much Cameron.🤞

[@JanBerger1]

Great Video Cameron! I really love the style of your videos and the learnings I take with me afterwards.

[@JaychanderPatel-o1x]

Hello, thanks for the great video. Can you please make a video on how to use POSTMAN and API's on a beginner level ? Or can you please suggest some good reference material ?

[@ValerieRichmond-q2k]

I'm brand new to triggering journeys outside of from a static list. Do you need to create an API event for anyone you want to enter a journey if they are added to a Data Extension after the initial journey runs? In other words, do I need to have an event fire if someone gets added to the list, in order for them to enter the journey, or will they enter if I add them to the list later?

Thank you Cameron, helpful video 👍

Hello Cameron, I have a triggered send DE where Im injecting records via API call and I want them to send a Triggered send real time email, after this email, I would like to impact them with a serie of activities and messages, how do you thing I should approach this case? Many thanks for your content and contribution to the community!

[@CameronRobert]

Hi Roger, it sounds like Journey Builder is your best option! Don’t forget you can build very complex journeys with the default journey activities, and you could even build your own custom activity if you needed to!

[@BaluMahendra319]

Fabulous one ...

Hi Cameron, Can you Please help which video I need to watch to learn Cloud Page?

[@LaurinFedora-t7k]

What if the record doesn't already exist in SFMC and there's not a Contact ID?

[@hishmatrai91]

Thanks for the efforts

[@vk-bb]

I understand that Postman is used for testing purposes. How is this Journey will be triggered after it completed and ready to run continuously? What would trigger REST API to be executed?

[@CameronRobert]

Correct. The Rest API is used to add/insert a contact into the Journey.

[@nponta0126]

Thanks for the help! In the journey payload, you entered the information for subscriber key, email, etc. What do we do if this is variable? For example, I want this to trigger for anyone who fills out a form based on their email and subscriber key. What would the value be if I want this to change everytime someone fills it out?

[@CameronRobert]

It depends on the platform and language used. These fields would be set as variables sourced from the submitted form.

Thanks for the video ☺️

Hi Robert, Here you have inserted/updated single record. but i want to insert multiple records with JSON...how to acheive this?

[@CameronRobert]

Currently you could need to use a LOOP function to call the API multiple time (once for each record to insert). There has been talk in the community about a Batch Journey Entry API coming soon - so keep an eye on the SFMC Release notes!

[@arinashishmintseva7099]

Thank you for the valuable content. "Currently the API only supports 1 record at a time; however a few weeks ago at Sydney World Tour some roadmap items were discussed, including a batch entry method! I’ll be sure to make a video on it once it is released.". Do you know where we can find some documentation which proves that we can send only 1 record at a time or some idea?

[@CameronRobert]

The information shared with the community at the event was around an upcoming batch entry method. No indication on limitations or availability dates were shared, however I’m sure this is something you could talk to your Salesforce Account Executive about to get the most up to date information!

[@samarknp]

Nice explanations:)

[@CameronRobert]

Thanks, glad you liked it

[@VamsiB-s6r]

Is there any way to insert multiple records through JSON?

[@CameronRobert]

Not just yet sadly.

[@swapnilverma7691]

Thanks for the video

[@CameronRobert]

My pleasure!

[@mathiasbakken894]

Hi! How do I add more records to the payload in postman? For instance if I want to post several records at one time. Tried to put the “data”-object in an array and added more objects, but got a JSON deserialization error. Any tips for adding more than one record per call?

[@CameronRobert]

Currently the API only supports 1 record at a time; however a few weeks ago at Sydney World Tour some roadmap items were discussed, including a batch entry method! I’ll be sure to make a video on it once it is released.

[@mathiasbakken894]

Alright, that sounds cool. Any idea when that will possibly be available?

[@tinyamasisurum0]

There is a Runner feature in Postman (at the right bottom you will see) and you can create records with a batch read from the csv file.@@mathiasbakken894

[@bharatbbd]

Don't we need access token first to send data through postman request

[@victormenezes192]

you need. check the documentation of this postman collection
