Required Additional setup

SetData script

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

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

Pre-authentication script

If you are connecting to a US region, you might need to update the default pre-authentication script for the installed connector. For information, please see Peoplevox pre & post authentication scripts page.

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.

Re-authentication response script

This script and associated functionality are coming soon - please check our release notes for upcoming releases.

For optimal performance, you should apply the PVX Re-Authentication Response Script to any connector shapes where Peoplevox is used to receive or send data.

For more information, please see: The Peoplevox re-authentication response script.

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.
