I'm working on my first Custom Activity for JourneyBuilder (Platform v1), and I'm having trouble getting the system to call my Execute URL when a Contact flows through my Custom Activity.
I’ve been successful in setting up an Interaction triggered by a Data Extension and I can get a Contact to flow through it. I have it set up so that my Custom Action is the first thing that occurs and is followed by an Update Contact Data action that changes some value on my Data Extension.
When I send a contact through the Journey I never receive any traffic to my “Execute” URL, I don’t receive any errors and my Update Contact Data action occurs as expected.
Like with the save/validate/publish issue I had earlierissue I had earlier, I’ve tried every combination of values and settings that I can think of in my config.json. My last attempts pretty much mirror the settings published in the Custom Action documentation (http://code.exacttarget.com/app-development/journey-builder-development/platform/creating-platform-activities.html). All attempts have proven unsuccessful.
Currently my config.json looks like this:
{
...
"arguments": {
"execute": {
"inArguments": {
},
"outArguments": {
},
"url": "https://mydomain.com/api/journeybuilder/v1/notify",
"verb": "POST",
"body": "",
"header": "",
"format": "json",
"useJwt": false,
"timeout": 10000
}
},
...
}
I’m hoping there is something obvious that I’m just missing. Has anyone been successful in creating a Custom Activity (on the V1 Platform) that can call out to the Execute URL?
