Tatango Steps

  1. Navigate to My Account -> Integrations

  2. Click the All Apps tab

  3. Click ‘Configure’ on NGP VAN

  4. The first pop-up allows you to rename the integration if you’d like, with NGP VAN I’d recommend not renaming it. So just click ‘Continue’

  5. Select the list to add new subscribers to from the dropdown

  6. Click Next

  7. Map the NGP VAN fields on the left hand side to the Tatango fields on the right hand side.

Note: Phone number is already captured under the hood

  1. Click Next

  2. Copy the webhook url and paste it into a document or notepad

  1. Next copy out the ID that is between ‘https://’ and ‘.integration-hook.com. From the example above this would be e2bf710f-c57a-4a38-996a-741cc629bf80

  2. Next add trigger+ to the beginning of the ID you extracted above and add @traymail.io to the end. From the example the email would be trigger+e2bf710f-c57a-4a38-996a-741cc629bf80@traymail.io

  3. Save the email somewhere safe as you will need it for the steps in NGP VAN / EveryAction

  4. Continue to the NGP VAN / EveryAction steps on the next page
