GraFx Genie for Actions (experimental)

Experimental

To give you early access to the latest and greatest, we will release some features as "Experimental". This means you can use them, but the final implementation might change. So don't use this in production.

Introduction

You need to write an Action, to make your template into a Smart Template.

Challenge: You don't know how to write JavaScript code, to make this happen.

GraFx Genie is your go-to smart assistant for crafting actions to support your templates.

It's designed to assist you in creating actions, which play a vital role within triggers. See also: Introduction to Actions

Example

You have a retail template. A variable field allows the users of the template to enter a discount percentage. When the discount drops below — let's say — 30%, you (as a template designer) want to show an extra asset, to hi-light the steep discount.

A variable makes sure a user can change the discount.

Now, let's make an action, that will be triggerd with a variable value changes.

To create the action, click on the Action tab.

You can now ask Genie to write the script for you.

Click on the GraFx Genie icon.

And ask Genie what functionality you need in your Smart Template

Genie will now suggest a JavaScript you can use to perform the functionality.

As you see, Genie knows about the context. Without specifiing that discount is a variable name, it will understand and use this information to write the script.

If you're not 100% convinced, you can still tweak the script, or ask a Developer colleague to take a look for the final touches.

The result:
