System tools for PIM

4 min

System tools are built-in features that help Optimizely Opal take action. Each tool performs a specific task, such as creating a campaign, uploading files, or generating images. Think of tools like attachments on a Swiss Army knife. Each one has a distinct purpose that helps you get work done.

In addition to the system tools available in Opal, Optimizely Product Information Management (PIM) includes tools, such as retrieving general statistics from the Dashboard. See Get started with PIMGet started with PIM for more information.

Note

Ask Opal what tools it has at any time. For example, enter "Please list the tools you have with a brief description of what they do and the parameters" into Opal Chat.

Click a tool's name to expand it and learn when to use it, its required and optional parameters, and example prompts for calling the tool. If you do not provide a required parameter, Opal prompts you for it.

Note

If you use Opti ID, administrators can turn off generative AI in the Opti ID Admin Center. See Turn generative AI off across Optimizely applicationsTurn generative AI off across Optimizely applications.
