Overview of WorkSpan Integrations

WorkSpan Integrations allow you to import results data for your campaigns and activities in WorkSpan via a report from your source systems (CRM systems) on an automated basis (daily, weekly, monthly). This allows you and your team to get continually updated data without having to manually generate any data.

Source systems can email the result report on a regular basis to an owner of an integration or to a preconfigured email address to add/update data into WorkSpan in a row-column format for a configured integration. 

Each integration in WorkSpan has a unique email-id associated with it. You can use this email address for scheduling a recurring report upload. You can also manually send reports from your own email address to the unique integration email address to upload data as needed.

Each integration is connected to specific WorkSpan campaigns and activities. When a result report is received via email, the integration processes the report and updates the results in the appropriate WorkSpan campaigns and activities.
