Using Predefined Attributes
ACTITO offers a selection of predefined attributes in the profile base.
These attributes have specific uses in ACTITO as for reporting (sex, birthdate, ...) or contact (E-mail address, mobile phone,...).
We advise you to always choose a predefined attribute instead of creating a new one.
For example: it will not be possible to send an e-mail to an address which is not defined as 'emailAddress'.
Likewise, it will not be possible to send an SMS to a field which is not defined as 'gsmNumber'.
List of predefined attributes
Birthdate
The advantages of using the 'birthdate' predefined attribute to store a birth date instead of creating a normal 'date' type attribute are:
ACTITO will calculate automatically the age of the profile. For targeting or personalization, you can select 'all people between 25 and 55 years old'. You will not have to parameter your target with a birth date.
This date will be used for specific reports such as an age pyramid.
E-mail Address
The predefined attribute 'emailAddress' is the only field that you can use to send e-mails with ACTITO.
This field will be created by default as mandatory and unique.
Acceptance rule for an 'e-mail address' field type:
It must respect the following syntax: xxx@yyy.zzz
the xxx value (meaning the user name before the @) cannot contain the following characters (é,è,à,ç,ù,ï,...)
the zzz value must be part of the international list of authorized extensions
Please note that:
the username can contain following characters 'a -> z', 'A -> Z', '0 -> 9', de '-', '_', '.' and special characters '!#$%&'*+-/=?^_`{|}~'
use of an '@' is mandatory
at least 1 character is mandatory before the '@'
the domain name and the suffix must follow the @
the domain name cannot start or end by '-'
the suffix must contain at least two characters
several dots ('.') cannot follow each other (ex: '...')
Subdomains are allowed (ex: subdomain.mydomain.com ) and accent are allowed in domain names.
Before each sending, ACTITO will check if the address can be reached (if not, it will be filtered).
First Name & Last Name
The predefined attributes 'firstName' and 'lastName' are simple text fields (max. 64 characters).
By default, the predefined attribute 'lastName' is a mandatory field
Postal address (addressCountry, addressLocality, addressPostalCode, addressStreet, addressNumber, addressBox)
The combination of these fields allows you to stock the partial or complete postal address of a profile.
The predefined attribute 'addressCountry' is a 'country' field type (represented by the two letters ISO 3166-1 country code)
The predefined attribute 'addressLocality', 'addressPostalCode', 'addressStreet', 'addressNumber', 'addressBox' are text fields of maximum 50 characters. This allows you to store English postal codes such as SW15 5PU or house numbers such as '41b'.
Mobile phone number
The predefined attribute 'gsmNumber' is the only field that you can use to send SMS with ACTITO.
Only numbers with international format may be contacted:
France: +33 6 XX XX XX XX
Belgique: +32 4XX XX XX XX
The acceptance rule for for a 'gsmNumber' field type is that it can contain the following characters (and nothing else):
+().- /0123456789 ( Note: the empty space is included)
Mother Language
The predefined attribute 'motherLanguage' is a 'language' field type (2 letters country code, called ISO 639-1 code).
This field will be used to send campaigns to profiles in the correct language.
If you do not have a 'motherLanguage' attribute (because all your profiles are contacted in the same language), you will have to untick the preselected 'language' box at the targeting stage of your e-mail campaign.
Number of Children
The predefined attribute 'nbreChildren' is an integer field type (equal to or over zero).
Profession
The 'profession' predefined attribute is a 'large text' field type (max. 50 characters). No default value is defined in ACTITO.
Sex
The 'Sex' field can only contain two possible values: M or F( for Male and Female).
ACTITO does not offer any predefined attribute such as 'civility' (Mr, Mrs, Ms), because calling a young woman 'Ms' is not allowed anymore in some countries.
In personalizations, the 'genderTest' will allow the use of the 'sex' field to customize the greeting.
Phone Number
The 'telephoneNumber' predefined attribute is a telephone number field type.
Marketing Consent
The 'marketing consent' predefined attribute is a Boolean field type.
The 'marketing consent' is a mandatory attribute by default.
