Common questions for IBM Watson

What is “Autoreply”?

If the database has an autoresponder associated with it and the SEND_AUTOREPLY element is set to true, Engage sends the confirmation when the contact is added to the database.

Should I activate “Allow HTML”?

If ALLOW_HTML is set to true, Engage will interpret—and properly render— HTML within a value in the text field. The default value is false and will convert HTML tags to character entity references (and tags display as literal characters in the text field).

If during the test step you get this error, just add our IPs address in IBM Watson: https://leadsbridge.com/documentation/whitelist-ip/

Can I prevent to have duplicate entries on IBM Watson?

Yes, you can. On IBM Watson's end, you should set up the email address column as the primary key, in this way you won't receive any duplicate entry.
