Actito Destination

You can establish a link between Raptor and Actito, turning this into a Destination for the Data Manager. From the Destinations Overview, simply select Create Destination and then pick Actito from the resulting list of options.

General Information

Destination Actito 1

As is standard, you will need to provide a Name for this Destination, as well as optionally adding a helpful Description.

Actito Specific Information

In order to establish the connection to Actito, three things are needed: The API EndpointAPI Key and Entity. Retrieving some of these will be easy. Others, somewhat less so.

API Endpoint

This is the API Server the system will be connected to - delivered in the form of xxx.actito.com. Generally speaking, there are four options - the API Test Server (apitest), the North American API Server (api1), and two sepparrate European API Servers: Bruxelles (api) and Paris (api3). The default, in our case, is api3 - meaning, api3.actito.com. You will generally be attached to whichever is closest to you, but if you are uncertain, you can check it within your Actito Account - which can conveniently be done while retrieving your API Key a bit later.

Entity

This refers to your Actito License. What you need to enter here is the same thing you put in the 'License' field when logging into your Actito Account.

API Key

This is where things get a bit more demanding. In order to find your API Key, you will need to log into your Actito Account. Once there, open the Account Menu dropdown in the upper-right corner, and access the License Configuration App from there. Note that this option will only be present if you have Admin authority!

🔍 Note: The Account Menu can also provide useful information if you were uncertain about some of the previous points. The 'License:' line matches what is required in the Entity field, while the 'Environment:' line shows which API Server you're connected to. ENV-0 = Bruxelles, ENV-1 = USA and ENV-3 = Paris.

Within the License Configuration Catalog, select API Users to get a list of available users. Select the one you wish to use, then click the 'View API Key' button above to open the relevant view. Just hit the 'Copy' button next to the 'My API Key' field, and paste it into the relevant line in the CDP Activations interface.

If you do not have an API User to use, or need to make a different one for this purpose, you'll need to first go through the 'Create API User' proccess - for that, see Actito's own Documentation.

Attaching Schemas

Once all the data has been correctly entered, click on Validate near the bottom to test the connection. If there are any issues, an error will appear, specifying what the issue is. Assuming all three fields have been correctly filled, however, the Validation will be completed, and you can now safely select Create. This, then, will connect to your Actito Account and allow you to select one or more Schemas - referred to as Profile Tables within Actito's systems - to import into Raptor. Note that picking at least one is necessary for the link to function.

Your selected Schemas/Profile Tables will be displayed beneath for easy overview. If you later find that some are missing, you are free to Edit the Destination and add more, however! Once you are done, simply select Save at the bottom to finalize the Destination. You are then free to begin using the new Destination and its Schemas in Dataflows. The imported schemas will appear in the list of schemas under the Schemas menu. Here, they are in a view-only state. You can only change the schema by changing the table in Actito and re-import it to the Control Panel. 

💡If you have changed or added to a Profile Table in Actito and want this change to be reflected in the version imported into Raptor's systems, simply Edit the Destination, and select Attach Schemas again. Those Schemas that have already been connected will be marked as such, but by selecting Attach on this pop-up, you will also re-import those Profile Tables, ensuring that they are fully up-to-date.
