Connect Integration Guide
Overview
Mongoose offers a fully-automated integration with Campus Management Connect. We provide the following points of integration:
- Contact data from Connect loaded into Mongoose
- All message activity from Mongoose populated in Connect Comm Log
- Any contact opt out preference changes in Mongoose reflected in Connect
- Message delivery errors reflected in Connect (optional)
There are several things to consider before configuring the integration between Connect and Mongoose:
- The user setting up the integration must be an administrator in both Connect and Mongoose.
- The integration relies solely on Connect webservices, and therefore, requires a web user account to be utilized.
- Logging, monitoring, and notifications are all configurable within Mongoose.
- Overnight, automatic imports can be enabled.
- Each individual integration process can be scheduled independently or run on demand, at will.
The Connect integration area can only be enabled by Mongoose (contact your Client Success Lead to have it enabled). Once available, it appears under the department administrator's menu:
Note that there may be some aspects of the setup within Connect that Campus Management support may be needed.
Before You Start
There are a few items to consider before you begin configuring the integration:
- This entire integration runs using Connect webservices. We recommend setting up a new webservices user to use with this specific integration; using an existing webservices user can cause issues with requirements/permissions.
- This integration allows you to import contact data into Mongoose from Connect as well as import texting activity into Connect from Mongoose (stored in the Connect Comm Log).
- Contacts will be imported from Connect filters; we recommend setting up one filter that encompasses all contacts you would like to import into Mongoose.
- Data imports essentially function as a create/update process. If it is the first time you are importing a record, it will be added to the team's data set in Mongoose. If you are importing a record that was previously imported, that record will simply be updated with the new information.
Note: This integration is only available for Mongoose Text. Mongoose Chat does not currently support this integration option.
