Configure Marketing Cloud Personalization Gears

The gears framework in Marketing Cloud Personalization allows you to integrate Personalization with other systems, take advantage of reusable templates, and access the rich analytics data stored in Marketing Cloud Personalization. You can enable or disable individual gears. For some gears, you can configure gear settings in the UI.

1. In the main navigation menu, hover over Gears and select Gears.
   The Installed Gears screen displays a list of installed gears, including its name, a description, its status (enabled or disabled), and category.
2. Navigate to the gear that you want to configure.
