Setup push invalidation
Push invalidation automatically purges content on the customer's production CDN (e.g. www.yourdomain.com), whenever an author publishes content changes.
Content is purged by url and by cache tag/key.
Push invalidation is enabled by adding specific properties to the project's configuration (an Excel workbook named .helix/config.xlsx in Sharepoint or a Google Sheet named .helix/config in Google Drive).
Configuration properties:
| key | value | comment |

The Fast Purge API credentials consist of
host = akaa-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.luna.akamaiapis.net
client_token = akab-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
client_secret = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
access_token = akab-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
They can be generated by following the instructions at Create an API client with custom permissions.
