What can I do with AXIS and FORGE plugins?

Installing an AXIS or FORGE plugin will allow you to preview and schedule your AXIS (UX management platform) and FORGE (content management platform) content within existing targeting functionality. This additional layer of visualization expands the functionality of mtribes and can improve your scheduling Experience.

Before you can preview and schedule your content, you’ll need to add a plugin element to your associated Experience template.
