Breaking Change: Version 2.171 Update Connection credentials (AccessTokens) for Integrations and Media Buying
- Pascal Clausen
Version | 2.171 |
|---|---|
Integration | Google Ads, Facebook, Linkedin, Pinterest, Amazon DSP |
If you do not follow this step, the integrations won’t work and will always show an error message.
What will change?
Security is of the highest importance to us and this includes also third-party integrations
In compliance with Salesforce Security standards, we’re updating how Authentication Credentials are stored in ADvendio, this includes AccessTokens provided by third-party systems
Why are we doing this?
We aim to make sure ADvendio can safely store and build connections to third-party platforms without exposing unwanted information and meeting the Standards of Salesforce security for its platform and apps.
The encryption of Access Credentials in the Salesforce Data model helps to protect sensible information and still have them available for ADvendio integration processes to work.
What do you have to do?
After the Installation of the 2.171 release, you will need to regenerate the AccessTokens in ADvendio.
To do so you can check the pages of the individual integrations and refer to the Generate an OAuth token sections.
The integrations that are affected are:
Google Ads: [Set up connection] in Google Ads
Linkedin: https://advendio.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SO/pages/3371270256
Pinterest: [Set up connection] in Pinterest
Amazon DSP: [Set up connection] in Amazon DSP Pilot
What If I don’t use Media Buying, but AdServer Integrations (e.g. Google AdManager, Xandr, Adswizz, Freewheel ect.)
For non Media Buying Integrations, this change should not have a negative impact. However it can be that if you already had a value in your Access Token field on the Connection Record, that his value remains not encrypted and can cause problems.
We are looking into solutions to prevent these kinds of situations, meanwhile, please check the following steps:
Check the Access Token field for your Connection Record (If this is not visible, you might need to modify your page layout to show the missing field)
If there is a text, which appears to be not encrypted, please edit the field and empty it, save the record
If needed, you can paste in again the former value and save the record again, but except the connections listed above, other systems are not using the access token field.
