Responsys Program Stopper

A custom solution web app that can be used along side Oracle Responsys marketing software to allow a digital marketer to stop cross channel orchestration programs from anywhere without the need to log into their Responsys account.

Technologies used:

Node.js, PostgreSQl, JavaScript, Vue.js and utilizes the Responsys API functionality.

Purpose

I built this web app as a proof of concept for a need that was brought up by one of my digital marketing clients. They wanted a way to be able to stop programs in Responsys.

Note:

For the demo, I have the web app hardcoded to a test account and wont actually stop any of the programs so that the retrieve running program list functionality can continue working even when multiple people stop a program. When this is used live the settings can be changed to stop programs as expected.

Also, since this was just built as a proof of concept there are still features that are missing. This was meant to be something that I built quickly to show the client what we could do for them.
