Overview
Start uploading your data to Totango DNA-CX right when your in-house data preparation process is finished by triggering the Totango file upload job using an API endpoint.
This will enable the creation of a single process including data collection and start uploading this data to Totango.
This article includes the following topics:
How Can I Generate The API Endpoint
You can generate an API endpoint to trigger your data upload job from Totango Spark UI, if you like you can also include your user API token.
How Can I Configure It As A Trigger
Use your company data flow tools (ETLs, scripts, queries,...) to embed the API endpoint trigger as part of the data flow.
In the example below, the data upload job is triggered simply from a command terminal.
Important note, the user API token credentials are verified when triggering a data upload job. Make sure to use a global admin user API token.
