Add a Content API

Add and configure a content API in MoEngage to use dynamic external data in your campaigns. Personalize API parameters with user attributes.

To set up an API to be used during MoEngage campaigns, perform the following steps:

1. Navigate to the MoEngage Dashboard > Settings > Advanced Settings.

2. Click Content API.

3. Click + Add content API. The Add content API screen pops up.

   

4. Fill in the following details:

   API name	Add the name for the content API here.
   Method	The following methods are supported for Content APIs: GET POST PUT Select the HTTP Request method of the content API being configured. Note: The POST option will be enabled on request. Contact your CSM or the MoEngage Support team to enable it.
