How to get URL

  • URL - mandatory: where the system you'd like to send information to is located.

  • Method - mandatory: the request method your system may receive as the indication of the desired action to be performed.
    • POST is the default value. It's used to send data to a server to create/update a resource and it's one of the most common HTTP methods. If you're unsure about what you should select, leave it as is.

  • Content Type - mandatory: is used to indicate the media type of the resource. Works as the content type description for the message body.
    • application/x-www-form-urlencoded is the most common encoding type. Use this as long as you're not using any JSON or XML language on the request body.
  • Success pattern - optional: the message your system replies with once the request was received successfully.

  • Failure pattern - optional: an error message your system sends when there's an issue with the request.
  • Skip encoding parameters in URL - optional: if enabled prevent the encoding of special characters in the URL parameters

Other Info

  • Body - mandatory: the message Body is where all the data is set to eventually form the HTTP Request that will be sent to insert each lead into your system.
    • Body syntax should be write as follows:[code]"field_id": "value″[/code]"field_id" is the unique identifier of the field inside your CRM/platform; "value" can be static (number or text that will be the same for every lead synced) or dynamic.

    • To create dynamic values just enter the field name between the double @@ symbols, that will results in a @@field_name@@ syntax. The field name can be whatever you'd like, it will help you recognize the field inside the bridge settings later.
      Dynamic fields will be displayed on the Fields Matching step of the bridge, where you will be able to match them with lead's information.

    • That said, if we have a full_name field on our platform to store the lead's full name, we should use the following syntax:
      [code]full_name: @@FullName@@[/code]Please check HTTP common questions for code examples.

Step 2.E: Email Receipt (Optional)

You may choose to receive an email receipt for each incoming lead.

  • Type the address(es) where you'd like to receive the receipt
  • You may also modify the Subject line of the email

Step 3: Fields Mapping

Here you'll be able to map your Moosend information with your HTTP Request (GET/POST) fields.

  1. You will have HTTP Request (GET/POST) fields on the left. Match the information you wish to pass align from Moosend
  2. Based on HTTP Request (GET/POST) functionality, some fields might be required; if this is the case, you can identify those fields with a * (star), so be sure to map all them
  3. You can also use the functions to customize information like reformatting dates and times or modifying text, phone numbers and so on.
  4. You may leave blank the box of a field's information you don't want to send through. Clicking on the Show unmapped fields button you will have visibility on all the available fields still not mapped

Step 3.A: Leads Filter (Optional)

If you'd like you could add a filter for incoming leads. This filter will sync only leads that meet the configured conditions

  1. Click on the link Add Filter for Incoming Leads on the top left
  2. A popup wil be opened where you can configure the filter
  3. You can define a series of condition to filter the leads. The lead will be synced only when all the conditions will be met
  4. Once finished, click the Save Changes button to switch back to the Fields Mapping to continue with the bridge configuration

Step 3.B Test Connection (Optional)

Once you’ve mapped all the fields that you need, if available, you can run a test of your connection by clicking on the Test Connection button.

Step 4: Save and Publish

  • Click on the Save and publish button

Congratulations! Now your bridge is up and running
