Register a custom Journey Builder component

Version: 6.0

The Tenant Service server is used as a hosted endpoint for the custom activity.

You must register the endpoint of the Tenant Service custom activity in your Marketing Cloud installed package.

To add events or activities to an existing Marketing Cloud app, add them as components in the same package you used for API integration.

To create a Journey Builder Activity component:

  1. On your SFMC instance, open your profile setup page.

  2. On the right sidebar, navigate to Platform Tools/Apps/installed packages and click it.

  3. Choose the API integration package created when setting up SFMC.

  4. Under Components, click Add Component.

  5. Select Journey Builder Activity.

  6. Type a Name and Description for the activity.

  7. Select a Category. The category determines under which section on the Journey Builder Canvas the activity appears.

    Note

    By default, the tenantservice/sync-activity/config.json file specifies the default value of Messages for categories. The activity uses that value instead of the value selected in the Journey Builder Activity. To use the category you specify in the activity, you must remove the default value from the config file.

  8. In the Endpoint URL field enter, for example, https://[Tenant Service host]/sync-activity.

    Note

    Journey Builder loads all assets relative to this endpoint.

  9. Save the component.
