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

Suggest Edits

Since this extension point is being deprecated, this guide will only serve to demonstrate the differences between v1 and v2. Overlap in design / intent / functionality are not documented here

❗️

Deprecated

This extension point is currently still usable and we continue to support apps that are already configured with this version. In the future this extension point will no longer be available for new configurations.

Authentication

How can your app validate this call is being made from a valid Seismic user?

This v1 extension point supports a few different methods for authentication, which are controlled via the extension point settings within your app. The details of your Authentication method are include in a header field: "authorization"

Custom Header

This is a hard-coded field that you will receive in the header to validate this request

  • Extension configuration fields:
    • "Auth Type is either 'basic', 'clientcert', or 'header'"
      • Enter "header"
    • "When AuthType is set to 'header' enter a header key is required"
      * enter any string value
      When receiving the call from Seismic the header field: "authorization" contains the value that you've input in the field: "When AuthType is set to 'header' enter a header key is required".
    • Sample: authorization: "abcd1234"

Basic Auth

This is hard-coding the user credentials that you will receive in the header to validate this request

  • Extension configuration fields:
    • "Auth Type is either 'basic', 'clientcert', or 'header'"
      • Enter "basic"
    • "Basic auth's user name"
      • Enter the username to receive
    • "Basic auth's password"
      * Enter the password to receive
      When receiving the call from Seismic the header field: "authorization" contains "Basic "+the base 64 encoded credentials you have input above.
  • Sample: authorization: "Basic dGVzdEVtYWlsQHNlaXNtaWMuY29tOnRlc3RwYXNzd29yZA"

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
