How Can I Generate The API Endpoint

You can generate an API endpoint to trigger your data upload job from Totango Spark UI, if your user has global admin rights and it will be used to trigger this integration, you can include your user API token in the API trigger syntax. 

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.
