Below is a step by step walkthrough to get you started with API Fetch.
Step 1: Add a Data Source
As an example, pull in data from the Eloqua Marketing Automation system. Name your data source: Eloqua Data Source. Add description information. Select API Polling from the drop down menu. Press the SAVE button.
This allows a recurring data pull from the 3rd party system into Signal, part of the Certain Platform.
Step 2: Set the Response Schema Setup
This step creates dynamic data fields in Signal. This step ensures that each time the data is pulled from the datasource, the datasource in this example is Eloqua, the data is placed into corresponding fields in the Certain Platform.
Copy the JSON response from the Eloqua API. Paste the JSON response into the field in Certain. Select from the dropdown menu either event or attendee data depending on what you are importing. Then click SAVE.
Step 3: Assign the Data Source
Schedule a new API Fetch. Give a name to the schedule. Select the data source from the drop down menu. Click the SAVE button.
Step 4: Assign the Inbound Flow
Select the data source Ingest Eloqua. Click the SAVE button.
Step 5: Schedule when to automatically pull in the data
Make selections such as daily or hourly. Select a specific time. Select a time zone. Save the schedule.
The walkthrough example schedules fetching the data daily. The walkthrough example starts the schedule today at 7am Alaskan time. The data is pulled into the Certain Platform on the schedule you determine. You do this once. The schedule automatically occurs for the schedule you set.
