Category Lookup
- Ben Clark
The Category Lookup Public Template is available to all customers but must be used in conjunction with the Category Management rule. To use it, pull the Public Template into your Rule after you have created your Category Management
This rule simply passes a URL to the Category Management Public Template and gets a Category identifier back any linked engagement score, a Conversion identifier and Conversion value.
Save the Rule and name it appropriately.
