After that Under Choose Common property, select Email as the mode of communication

Finally, click on Initialize button to button to enable the integration. Once it is enabled, you will see the below view.




Sending Events To WebEngage


Events can be sent to WebEngage when certain things happen on Nector. You can then setup automations on WebEngage, which can be triggered when the event occurs on Nector. For example, when a customer is rewarded with wallet coins, an event can be sent to WebEngage, which in turn will trigger an automation that sends an email to the customer.


Add new event


Switch to the Events tab and click on Create An Event. It opens up to the Events page with the Send Events tab. Now you have to select the event on which you want to notify the external integration.


There are many events supported on Nector. If you don't know which to choose, here are the two events that are most relevant and commonly used:


  • Wallet Coins Rewarded: This event will be sent whenever wallet coins are rewarded on nector.
  • Coupon Is Created: This event will be sent whenever a customer uses his wallet coins to get a discount/coupon code on nector.


For example,
To send an Wallet Reward Event to WebEngage whenever wallet coins are rewarded to a customer on nector, you would create the event as shown below.


  • Click on "+" button to create an event.
  • For "Event" option, select Wallet Coins Rewarded
  • For "Send event to" option, by default WebEngage will be selected.




  • Once you have entered all the details, click on the Create button in the popup. The event will be created as below.




Sending Test Event


In order to make this event available in your WebEngage dashboard, you need to send a test event from Nector as shown below. After this, you can setup the flow on WebEngage using this event as the trigger.


Click on the Event you just created


You can send a test event by clicking on Send Test Event.


A popup opens, enter the email id where you want to send the test email.




Kindly note, the Email id of customer to whom email has to be sent needs to exist in the Customers database of your store.



Setting up the journeys on WebEngage


After you are done setting up events to be sent to WebEngage from Nector, you can create jounreys on WebEngage in response to the Events. For this, read the steps below:


  1. Go to your Webengage dashboard. Look for Journeys and click on it.




  1. Click on "+" to create a new Journey. Drag and Drop the Occurence of an Event into the flow.

Inorder to make the trigger available in your WebEngage dashboard, a sample event needs to be sent from nector. This sample event can be sent to WebEngage simply by adding some coins to an account on Nector. To reward coins manually refer to this article Manually reward coins to customers
