⚠️ Troubleshooting Alert: Embed URL feature is not active on this client

This message indicates that your HIVO account has not been fully configured with the necessary permissions to display assets outside of the HIVO system.

• For HIVO assets to be displayed and utilized (embedded) within SFMC, your HIVO account must be configured by an Administrator with two essential options activated:

  • Enable CDN and new Public Assets

  • Custom domain

• Since the activation of these features requires high-level system administration privileges, please take one of the following steps for assistance:

  • Contact your internal Admin

  • Contact the HIVO Support Team
