Survicate

Survicate is a customer feedback and survey platform for collecting insights across websites, mobile apps, email, and links. Its Data Export API exposes surveys, questions, responses, and respondent data so teams can analyze feedback outside the Survicate panel. This connector uses that API to ingest survey and response data into Nexla and to submit GDPR personal-data erasure requests.

Power end-to-end data operations for your Survicate API with Nexla. Our bi-directional Survicate connector is purpose-built for Survicate, making it simple to ingest data, sync it across systems, and deliver it anywhere — all with no coding required. Nexla turns API-sourced data into ready-to-use, reusable data products and makes it easy to send data to Survicate or any other destination. With comprehensive monitoring, lineage tracking, and access controls, Nexla keeps your Survicate workflows fast, secure, and fully governed.

Prerequisites

Before creating a Survicate credential, you need a Survicate API key for the Data Export API. Survicate authenticates Data Export API requests using an API key sent in the Authorization request header. All requests are made against the Data Export API base URL https://data-api.survicate.com/v2.

To obtain your Survicate API key, follow these steps:

1. Sign in to your Survicate account.

2. Open the Surveys Settings tab in the Survicate panel.

3. Locate the Access Keys section, where your workspace API key is listed.

4. Copy the API key and store it securely, as you will need it to configure your Nexla credential.

An API key grants access to the survey, response, and respondent data in your Survicate workspace. Treat it as sensitive information and rotate it if it is ever exposed. For detailed information about authentication and available endpoints, see the Survicate Data Export API documentation.

Create a credential in Nexla

1. After selecting the data source/destination type, click the Add Credential tile to open the Add New Credential overlay.

2. Enter a name for the credential in the Credential Name field and a short, meaningful description in the Credential Description field.

3. Enter your Survicate API key in the API Key field. This key is sent in the Authorization header to authenticate all requests to the Survicate Data Export API, and must be kept confidential.

   If your API key is compromised, rotate it in the Access Keys section of your Survicate Surveys Settings. The API key provides access to your Survicate survey and respondent data and should be treated as sensitive information.

   For detailed information about authentication and available endpoints, see the Survicate Data Export API documentation.

4. Click the Save button at the bottom of the overlay. The newly added credential will now appear in a tile on the Authenticate screen during data source/destination creation.

Use as a data source

To create a new data flow, navigate to the Integrate section, and click the New Data Flow button. Select the Survicate connector tile, then select the credential that will be used to connect to Survicate, and click Next; or, create a new Survicate credential for use in this flow.

Once the selected endpoint template has been configured, click the Test button to the right of the endpoint selection menu to retrieve a sample of the data that will be fetched. Sample data will be displayed in the Endpoint Test Result panel on the right, allowing you to verify that the source is configured correctly before saving.

Manual configuration

Survicate data sources can also be manually configured to ingest data from any valid Survicate Data Export API endpoint, including endpoints not covered by the pre-built templates, chained API calls, or custom request parameters. Select the Advanced tab at the top of the configuration screen, and follow the instructions in Connect to Any API to configure the API method, endpoint URL, date/time and lookup macros, path to data, metadata, and request headers.

Once all of the relevant settings have been configured, click the Create button in the upper right corner of the screen to save and create the new Survicate data source. Nexla will now begin ingesting data from the configured endpoint and will organize any data that it finds into one or more Nexsets.

Use as a destination

Click the + icon on the Nexset that will be sent to the Survicate destination, and select the Send to Destination option from the menu. Select the Survicate connector from the list of available destination connectors, then select the credential that will be used to connect to Survicate, and click Next; or, create a new Survicate credential for use in this flow.

Endpoint templates

Nexla provides pre-built templates that can be used to rapidly configure destinations to send data to common Survicate endpoints. Select the endpoint to which data will be sent from the Endpoint pulldown menu. Then, click on the template in the list below to expand it, and follow the instructions to configure additional endpoint settings.

[Rest API] Delete Personal Data

Delete personal data by email address (GDPR erasure). Removes all personal data associated with the specified respondent email.

• This endpoint issues a DELETE request that removes all personal data associated with the respondent email address supplied in each record from your Nexset. Use it to fulfill GDPR erasure requests.

This is a destructive operation: personal data removed through this endpoint cannot be recovered. Ensure the email address in each record is correct before activating the destination. For detailed information about this endpoint and its request format, see the Survicate Data Export API documentation.

Manual configuration

Survicate destinations can also be manually configured to send data to any valid Survicate Data Export API endpoint. Select the Advanced tab at the top of the configuration screen, and follow the instructions in Connect to Any API to configure the API method, data format, endpoint URL, request headers, attribute exclusions, record batching, and response webhooks.

Save & activate

Once all endpoint settings have been configured, click the Done button in the upper right corner of the screen to save and create the destination. To send the data to the configured Survicate endpoint, open the destination resource menu, and select Activate.

The Nexset data will not be sent to the Survicate endpoint until the destination is activated. Destinations can be activated immediately or at a later time, providing full control over data movement.
