TemplateContentUpdated

The TemplateContentUpdated API method is a scraper like method that allows clients to setup end-points (URLs) that render the specific portions of HTML markup to be placed on Triton loyalty hosted pages of rewards sites. On the Triton Loyalty template rewards site, clients will be able to replace three zones in the template (template top zone, station header zone, and station footer zone). These zones are specified in the template menu of the Triton Loyalty admin.

Once the API method is called by the client/partner, TL will go to configured endpoints to scrape the HTML and place it into the corresponding loyalty site’s template zone.

In summary:

1. Create end-points (URLs) that render HTML that needs to be placed.

2. When the content is updated on the client’s side, the API method will need to be called to inform Triton Loyalty that the content has been changed.

3. Triton Loyalty will turn around and scrape the HTML and place the updated content into the corresponding zones.

Parameters

• PARTNERCODE – Identifier issued by Triton Loyalty

• SITECODE – Partner’s unique identifier of the site

• TIMESTAMP – Verification timestamp. UTC time of the client call. Must be in the following format: YYYYMMDDHHmmss

• TOKEN – An encrypted string constructed using the passed-in parameters and the partner-specific “shared secret” provided by the Triton Loyalty. Unless requested differently by the partner, the MD5 hashing algorithm is used to produce the token. For the purpose of this call the following formula should be used: MD5(partnerCode + SiteCode + TimeStamp + SharedSecrect)
