Required Additional setup

SetData script

Before using this connector as a target connection in process flows, you must create a setData script.

Having completed this setup, the Peoplevox connector is ready to use.

Using the Peoplevox connector in process flows

The Peoplevox connector is like any other Patchworks connector - it gets added to process flows via a connector shape. However, some specific settings are required for this shape, as detailed below.

setData script

If you build a process flow with Peoplevox as a target connection, you must add a custom script shape and apply the setData script immediately before the target connection shape.

For more information please see: Using the Peoplevox setData script in process flows.

Formatting script

If you pull data from Peoplevox (i.e. your process flow includes a connection shape configured with a Peoplevox GET endpoint), the payload is generated as XML data. If required, you can convert the XML payload to JSON using a conversion script.

For more information please see: Peoplevox XML to JSON conversion script.
