Emarsys is a solution that helps marketers take their campaigns to the next level with intelligent automation and powerful segmentation capabilities. With its comprehensive set of features centered specifically on multichannel marketing success, Emarsys significantly boosts your integrated campaign efforts. Read on for more information about using this robust platform to optimize your omnichannel campaigns.

Emarsys is a customer engagement platform that enables users to automate personalized campaigns across channels based on consumer behaviour. It is designed in a powerful way using integrated data from various sources to give actionable use cases that deliver personalized messages to your customers regardless of the channel. It is fueled by marketer-friendly AI and allows marketers to use it without intervention by IT team. In addition, it has integrated omnichannel automation that allows you to reach out to your customers through the right channels at the right time. SAP Emarsys connects storefront data, eCommerce platforms, mobile apps, and marketing channels.

SAP Commerce Cloud integration with Emarsys facilitates data exchange between both systems. This integration is available for B2B accelerator and SAP Commerce Cloud 2105 and onwards. It offers real-time synchronization of customers, events, and products.

SAP has introduced a plugin to integrate SAP Commerce Cloud in a public cloud with SAP Emarsys. The plugin connects your store and automatically syncs customers, events, and products to Emarsys.

  2. For SAP Emarsys Engagement: Navigate to Add-Ons > SAP Commerce Cloud Integration. For security reasons, an autogenerated username and password will be generated on each page load.

Once SAP Commerce Cloud integration is enabled, check if your system complies with the add-on requirements.

The integration can be segregated into three main sections.

  • Contacts
  • Real-time Events
  • Products

Let us look into more details about the integration and required setup.

Contact sync can be enabled by a toggle button so that customers who register on your storefront can also be replicated in SAP Emarsys. The field mapping between both systems can be viewed under show mapping button. To setup integration, you need the following:

  • Base Site
  • Consent Template
  • Consent Template Version

A consent template is used for opt-ins and opt-outs made by the customer and synchronized bidirectionally. Once the initial contact sync is finished, you can enable real-time event sync. The following events are eligible for synchronization for logged-in users:

  • Cart
  • Customer Review
  • Customer Registration
  • Opt-in Status
  • Order Update

When the real-time event synchronization is activated, and a customer performs an activity on the storefront, the event is recorded and displayed on SAP Emarsys. These events can be used for further processing.

Next, you can synchronize SAP Commerce products to Emarsys. Go to the Products tab and enable Product sync. You have at least one product catalog in SAP Commerce to sync.

Select product catalog and enter product image domain and URL template to match images to product IDs. The currency used in your storefront can be assigned as well. As of now, only one currency is supported in this integration. You can select individual catalogs or use Select All button to include all catalogs for synchronization.
