Delivery Approval v2

Validate recipients in your 3rd party system before content gets sent

Suggest Edits

Purpose

Delivery approval enables an app to validate content and external recipients to be send out via LiveSend from the Seismic web application.

App prerequisites

  • Your app must be configured with a signing secret

How it works

High Level Flow

  • When this extension point is enabled on a tenant, when a user attempts a LiveSend, the 'Send' button is replaced with a 'Validate' button.
  • The user clicks 'Validate' and Seismic sends out the details of the livesends to your external service
  • Your service responds and lets the user know if they are allowed to send content to the user, or it can provide a warning

When it's triggered

  • When a user clicks 'Validate' from the Share Content window

🚧

Delivery approval requests must be acknowledged within 30 seconds

The provider must respond within 30 seconds with one of the following responses:

  • 200 response: A 200 that conforms to the approved response payload documented below.
  • non-200 response: indicates a failure of some kind.

❗️

Downtime

If the provider point goes down, for any reason, users will be unable to make LiveSend distributions.

How to configure

Configure the Delivery Approval Extension Point

  • Add the Delivery Approval V2 extension to your application as described here
  • Fill out the fields
    • Extension Instance Name - A Name that references this usage of this extension point within your app
    • The URL of the Delivery Approval Consent Provider - The URL that we will post the payload to
    • Click Save Changes
    • Make sure to enable the extension point and click Save Changes

Security & Authentication

It is recommended that you validate the Signing Secret in the POST request that Seismic is making to your URL.

v2 Changelog

The v1 Delivery Approval extension supported a custom header and basic auth modes. These have been retired in favor of the Signing Secret auth pattern

Content Properties

Content selected through the 'Paper Airplane' icon does not include content properties in the payload, whereas content that is added from the "+Add" button does have content properties in the payload. We are currently investigating a path forward.
Until this is addressed your app should not rely on Content Properties at this time
