Remote Configs

Overview

Remote Config enables you to define global attributes that you can use with any rule & actions on the Nected platform. These are like environment variables that can be set for the entire platform.

You can define the following four types of attributes under Remote Config:

  • Boolean – The true/false or on/off attributes.

  • Numeric – The numeric value attributes, such as discount percentage.

  • String – The string value attributes, such as brand name.

  • Date – The data attributes, such as start date and end date.

Note: You cannot leave the global attribute value field blank. You must always provide a value for every global attribute.
