How do I get Emarsys API credentials?

Log in to your Emarsys account, navigate to **Admin > Web Services**, and you can create or retrieve your **API Username** and **Secret Key**. Ensure the user has the required permissions for the resources you wish to access.

What authentication method does this integration use?

This integration uses **W-SSE authentication**, which is the standard for the Emarsys API. It requires both your API Username and Secret Key to securely generate request headers.

Can the agent trigger automation programs?

This integration currently focuses on listing and auditing programs and events. Triggering specific automation workflows should be managed via external events in the Emarsys dashboard or dedicated transactional API calls.
