Adding a New Integration

After receiving/downloading a Result Report from your source system, you can seamlessly add new integration details in WorkSpan to map entity data from your source system to WorkSpan objects- campaigns and activities.

Only people from your company can be owners of an integration and can use (connect to) the integration.

If an invalid file is emailed to your integration, an error will be shown on the History tab of the integration in WorkSpan but your data in WorkSpan will not be affected.

Steps:

4. Enter a name and a description for your integration.

   Note: Give a unique and descriptive name to each integration.

In the description, copy and paste a link to the result report from your source system. That will help in troubleshooting any issues.
