Vitally.io Destination

Vitally.io
Create a Vitally.io Destination
-
Click the + icon on the Nexset that will be sent to the Vitally.io destination, and select the Send to Destination option from the menu.
-
Select the Vitally.io connector from the list of available destination connectors. Then, select the credential that will be used to connect to the Vitally.io organization, and click Next; or, create a new Vitally.io credential for use in this flow.
-
In Nexla, Vitally.io destinations can be created using pre-built endpoint templates, which expedite destination setup for common Vitally.io write operations. Each template is designed specifically for the corresponding Vitally.io endpoint, making destination configuration easy and efficient.
• To configure this destination using a template, follow the instructions in Configure Using a Template.Vitally.io destinations can also be configured manually, allowing you to send data to Vitally.io endpoints not included in the pre-built templates or apply further customizations to exactly suit your needs.
• To configure this destination manually, follow the instructions in Configure Manually.
Configure Using a Template
Nexla provides pre-built templates that can be used to rapidly configure destinations to send data to common Vitally.io endpoints. Each template is designed specifically for the corresponding Vitally.io endpoint, making destination setup easy and efficient.
-
To configure this destination using a template, 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.
Configure Manually
Vitally.io destinations can be manually configured to send data to any valid Vitally REST API endpoint.
Using manual configuration, you can also configure Nexla to automatically send the response received from the Vitally.io API after each call to a new Nexla webhook data source.
API Method
-
To manually configure this destination, select the Advanced tab at the top of the configuration screen.
-
Select the API method that will be used for calls to the Vitally.io API from the Method pulldown menu. The available write methods for Vitally are:
- POST: For creating new records (accounts, users, notes, tasks, NPS responses, etc.)
- PUT: For updating existing records by Vitally ID
- DELETE: For removing records from Vitally
Data Format
- Select the format in which the Nexset data will be sent to the Vitally.io API from the Content Format pulldown menu. Vitally's REST API accepts JSON — select JSON as the content format. Nexla will automatically convert the Nexset data to JSON for each API call.
API Endpoint URL
- Enter the URL of the Vitally.io API endpoint to which you want to send the Nexset data in the URL field. Vitally REST API URLs follow the pattern
https://{subdomain}.rest.vitally.io/resources/{resource}. For update or delete operations, include the Vitally ID of the object to be updated or deleted at the end of the URL (e.g.,https://{subdomain}.rest.vitally.io/resources/accounts/{accountId}).
Request Headers
-
If Nexla should include any additional request headers in API calls to this destination, enter the headers & corresponding values as comma-separated pairs in the Request Headers field (e.g.,
header1:value1,header2:value2).You do not need to include the Authorization header — it is handled automatically by Nexla based on your Vitally.io credential configuration.
Exclude Attributes from the Call
-
If any record attributes in the Nexset should be omitted when sending data to this Vitally.io destination, select the attributes from the Exclude Attributes pulldown menu.
-
Any number of attributes can be selected for exclusion, and all excluded attributes will be shown in the field. To remove an attribute from the list, click the X icon next to the attribute name.
Record Batching
-
If records should be sent to this destination in batched API calls, check the box next to Would you like to batch your records together? to enable record batching.
-
Enter the maximum number of records that should be batched together in a single API call in the Batch Size field. By default, this value is set to
100. -
Select the algorithm that will be used to group records into batches from the Grouping Algorithm pulldown menu. The sample request shown in the panel on the right will be updated to reflect the current batching settings.
The Vitally REST API has a default rate limit of 1,000 requests per minute per API key (using a sliding window). When sending large volumes of records, use record batching to reduce the number of API calls and stay within rate limits. Monitor the rate limit headers returned in each API response (X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, and X-RateLimit-Reset) to track usage.
Response Webhook
Nexla can automatically send the response received from the Vitally.io API after each call to a new Nexla webhook data source. This option allows you to keep track of the status of each API call and any additional information returned after each call.
- To enable this option, check the box next to Would you like to process the API response as a Nexla Webhook source?.
Sample Request Payload
Sample request payloads containing a portion of the Nexset data that will be sent to the Vitally.io API endpoint based on the current settings are shown in the Sample Payload panel on the right. These samples can be referenced to ensure that the destination and request settings are correctly configured.
- Click on a sample request payload to expand it and view the complete payload content.
- Sample payloads are automatically updated with each setting change, making it easy to verify that changes achieve the desired effect.
Endpoint Testing (Manual Configuration)
After all endpoint settings have been configured, Nexla can send a test payload to the Vitally.io API to ensure that the destination is configured correctly.
-
To send a test payload, select the Test button at the top of the Sample Payload panel, and click on a listed sample payload to expand it.
-
If any modifications to the sample payload are needed, make the necessary changes directly within the sample window.
-
Click the Send Test Data button at the top of a sample payload to send the test payload to the Vitally.io API using the current settings.
Save & Activate the Destination
-
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 begin sending data to Vitally.io, open the destination resource menu, and select Activate.
The Nexset data will not be sent to Vitally.io until the destination is activated. Destinations can be activated immediately or at a later time, providing full control over data movement.
