Phasing Out Built-In Connectors for Third-Party Sources

We have improved the user experience when configuring connectors for third-party data sources in response to changing API standards and protocols. The original built-in connectors are now removed and you need to configure connectors for third-party sources by using the data integration tool.

Configure Connectors for Third-Party Data Sources

You can easily configure connectors for a wide range of third party APIs by using the robust and flexible data integration tool.

Steps to Enable

Navigate to the My Client Groups > Personal Brand Administration work area.
Click the Skill Settings tab.
In the Configure Third Party Integration section, click Open Data Integration Tool to configure a connector.
Click Add to configure a new connector, enter the details, and then click Save.
Follow the configuration steps to import API specification, select API operations, map data, create data flows, and enter API authentication keys. Click Save and Close.
On the Data Integrator page, click the actions icon (…) against the connector you created, and then select Schedule.

Schedule the Connector Run

Select the frequency you want the connector to run (weekly, daily, hourly), and then click Save.

Tips And Considerations

You need to use the data integration tool to configure connectors for third-party data sources.
If you configured third-party data sources using the original built-in connectors, you need to recreate new connectors by using the data integration tool.
