Working With Environments To Connect To Multiple Marketing Cloud Instances

While the variables are stored by default in the collection you can use Postman with environments to work with multiple Marketing Cloud instances in parallel.

The pre-request script has been written to determine if an environment has been selected. If it has been, the environment variables will be used for the authorization. By default in Postman the environment variables will supersede the collection level variables.

⚠️ Using environments means that you will store Marketing Cloud credentials in clear in Postman. Do this at your own risk.

Import the Template Environment

  1. Using a browser, sign up/in to Postman

  2. Open the main collection with this link

  3. Select the Environments tab (item A in following screenshot)

  4. Click Salesforce Environment Template (B)

  5. Click on the “three dots” icon on the right (C) and select Export from the menu

    Export environment screenshot

    This downloads a Marketing Cloud Template Environment.postman_environment.json file.

  6. Close the browser tab. We'll continue the installation on the Postman app

  7. In the Postman app, click Import

  8. Drag and drop the JSON file you just downloaded in the gray zone

  9. Click Import

Configure the Environment

  1. Click on the Environments icon

  2. Click on the “three dots” icon on the right of the environment template and select duplicate

    Manage environment screenshot

    This creates a Marketing Cloud Template Environment Copy template.

  3. Click Marketing Cloud Template Environment Copy

  4. Rename the environment with something meaningful in relation with your Marketing Cloud instance (e.g.: “Playground 1”)

  5. Set values in the CURRENT VALUE column for the following variables. If you need instructions for getting these variables go to: Create an Installed Package in Marketing Cloud

Variable Example Value Description
et_subdomain 28yte38jw4un5gkoky2w6 Tenant specific subdomain Authentication Base URI value. Only include the subdomain.
et_clientId kx2xo6o2updxf2anwquyg Client Id
et_clientSecret gj38398t7g89nbqn58gtp Client Secret
