Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "PUT sends across an encrypted payload to interact with the target for overwrite update, but if that object does not exist, then PUT may create it instead."

A block of code is set as follows:

<script runat="server">   
Platform.Load("Core","1.1.1")
var url = https://{{et_subdomain}}.rest.marketingcloudapis.com/email/v1/rest
var req = new Script.Util.HttpGet(url);
var resp = req.send();</script>

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

<script runat="server">   
Platform.Load("Core","1.1.1")
var url = https://{{et_subdomain}}.rest.marketingcloudapis.com/email/v1/rest
var req = new Script.Util.HttpGet(url);
var resp = req.send();</script>

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

<script runat=server>
    Platform.Load("Core","1.1.1");
    var prox = new Script.Util.WSProxy();
    var name = "My Automation";
    var request = prox.retrieve("Automation", ["ProgramID"], {
        Property: "Name",
        SimpleOperator: "equals",
        Value: name
    });
    var objId = request.Results[0].ObjectID;
</script>

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: "To do this, navigate to the User Settings menu and select Developer Settings."
