Can exacttarget be configured to connect to a 3rd party webservice returning a JSON object?

I guess there are two questions: - can I cause exacttarget to connect to a 3rd party webservice to populate an email body with info? (exact target would initiate the connection and make the request) - if so, can exact target parse a returned JSON object?

It depends on the web service itself and how the connection is initiated, but you can probably use HttpGET() to get the JSON, then parse it using SSJS.

See this question: Can AMPScript parse JSON?

If you post more info on the API and how the connection works we might be able to give you a better example.

  • I didn't realized you replied, thank you! Here is an example of the request: someurl.com/get_latest_info/today and this would return a json object with some basic data. Really simple stuff. I'll take a look at the link you sent over. Thanks again
