Context Definition Customizations for Custom Product Attributes

With Build Your Own Promotion promotion template, marketing managers can create product attribute-based promotion rules such as get 10% off on buying a 512-GB phone. Companies can choose to either use Product Catalog Management or use their own configuration to create product attributes. If a company decides to go ahead with their own product attribute configuration, then the admin must create a custom object that relates products with their attributes. And map the lookup fields of the custom object to attributes in their promotion context definitions.

Custom Object

Create a custom object that enables marketing managers to relate products with their attributes. The custom object must have two lookup fields that are related to the Product object and the Attribute Definition object.

Tip Add a tab for the custom object to ensure that product designers can view the custom object from the App Launcher.

Product Attribute Records

After the custom object is created, product designers in your company create records in the custom object to relate products with their attributes.

To use product attributes in a promotion, the API name of the attribute definition must be in camel case. For example, enter the API name of the phone storage attribute definition as phoneStorage.
