Important Concepts
The Apparatix system has a tight integration with the Lucit platform allowing you to schedule Lucit campaigns as easily as any other campaign that you schedule within the Apparatix system
Overview of Process
You will
Create your contract / posting in Apparatix
Copy down the ID number for the Contract
Attach the Contact ID number to the Lucit campaign inside of the Lucit application
Pre-Requisites
Apparatix Support Team has enabled Lucit on your Apparatix Installation
You have requested the type of BEHAVIOR that you want to enable from the Apparatix Contract. Fixed and Network are common ones to request during setup with Apparatix Support Team
Apparatix Support team has provided Lucit Support team with your company’s Contract Prefix Code
The Client and Campaign has been created in Lucit
You have scheduled the Contract / Posting in Apparatix
Process
In Apparatix
Ensure that the Contract Class is set to either Lucit Regular, WF_Lucit or Lucit Network
Repeat the same process on the SubContract (set it to the same as the Contract)
Finally, set the Contract Class of the Postings to WF_Lucit
Then be sure to copy the CONTRACT id number that appears as we will use this number in the next step to connect the campaigns
In Lucit
Login to Lucit, and find the Campaign that you want to attach this contract to (On the home page, click on the name of the Campaign you wish to edit)
Click on the info button at the top right of the screen.
Find the box to enter the contract ID into, put in the contract, and click the add button next to it.
Once this is complete, the contract in Apparatix is now linked to the campaign creatives in Lucit.
Troubleshooting
Contract DOES NOT show a recent datetime for Last Communication OR the Last Communication is really old (a long time ago).
One thing that helps to know what might be happening is the “Last Communication” section which shows the last time that this contract was pulled by Apapratix.
In this case, it is blank meaning we have not received any pulls from Apparatix for this contract ID – So, when Borges scheduled, they either:
Gave the wrong contract ID.
Missed a step during creating the Apparatix contract.
Something is wrong with Apparatix side.
If this DOES show a last communication date/time that is recent (within the past), but there are no plays happening, it will be one of the following scenarios.
If it has been less than 20 minutes since it started pulling the first time, wait and check again.
Double check that the right screens are selected.
Double check that the screen ids are correct.
Double check that the campaign is not empty and has creatives.
Changing an EXISTING Apapratix Contract to Lucit
Remove "Last Period Billed" under "Billing Configuration" on the subcontracts level. (Save this information)
Navigate to postings level and switch "Contract Class" to Lucit.
Navigate back to the subcontract level and add the "Last Period Billed" back into the contract. (saved info from step 1)
