7.2.22.1 Setup of custom logic for the Campaign Builder

Challenge

For performing custom calculations in our Campaign Builder in-built features like Salesforce formulas and the campaign builder layout settings may not suffice in certain use cases.

Solution

You can add additional behaviour and calculations by creating a JavaScript static resource that can be loaded into the campaign builder. A custom script allows you to react to field changes and to interact with the data in the campaign builder.

This feature is currently only triggered on user events and can not set fields by default.

When do I need to extend the campaign builder with a custom script?

Creating your custom javascript file

Please follow the instructions below to build your custom javascript file.

Static resource skeleton

Any custom JavaScript for the campaign builder starts out as the following skeleton.

window.advendioCampaignBuilder = campaignBuilder => {
  // TODO
};

The skeleton is a method named advendioCampaignBuilder. The method will be called by the campaign builder and pass a CampaignBuilder object to your method.

The campaignBuilder is the API to interact with the campaign builder. You can listen on field changes, get field values, and set field values.

Available methods

 updateFieldFromRecord(record, fieldpath, value)

Set a specific value directly in the record object based on the field path. 

getFieldFromRecord(record, fieldpath)

Get a specific value from the record object based on the field path.

async query({objectName,fields,limit,offset,conditions = [],orderByField,orderByDirection}

Run a SOQL query by parameters.

Discount limiting example

Consider this case where the maximum discount for a campaign item is 10%. The following script will:

1. Listen to any changes on a specific discount__c field

2. Inside the listener, if the new discount value is over 10%

3. Set the discount__c field for the item to 10 or the value from if it is less

window.advendioCampaignBuilder = campaignBuilder => {
  // 1. Listen on changes on discount__c field
  campaignBuilder.on("advendio__rate_discount_4__c", async ({ recordId, from, to, record }) => {
    if (Number(to) > 10) {
      campaignBuilder.updateFieldFromRecord(record, "advendio__rate_discount_4__c", Math.min(to, 10));
    }
  });
};

Querying additional data

To query data from records that are not included in the campaign builder, you can use the campaignBuilder.query method.

window.advendioCampaignBuilder = async (campaignBuilder) => {
  const result = await campaignBuilder.query({
    objectName: 'Account',
    fields: 'Name',
    limit: 5,
    offset: 0,
    conditions: [{
      fieldName: "Name",
      condition: "!=",
      value: "Acme",
      scapeQuotes: true
    }]
  });
  console.log(result); // array of accounts
};

Use your custom script

Once you have created your static resource js, you can upload it to your org via Setup > Static Resources > New.

After the successful upload please go to the uploaded file by hitting the “View file” link for your static resource.

Copy the latter part of the URL starting from “/resource”, e.g.

 /resource/1610556603123/ADvendio__CampaignBuilderCJS?

and then an administrator can enable it in the ADvendio Administration Settings.

1. Open the App Launcher.

2. Search for Administration Settings and open them.

3. Switch to the Administration Settings tab.

4. Next to Custom JavaScript (Campaign Builder), enter the link you copied from the URL in the step at the top of this section.

5. Click the Save button at the top of the page.

Now, the next time you start the campaign builder, your custom logic will be loaded.
