Enterprises have other applications and systems which have to be integrated with Captivate Prime. Connectors are utilities that Help in performing data-based integrations such as importing data into Captivate Prime from external
Captivate Prime provides Salesforce and FTP connectors. Using Salesforce connector, integration Administrators of an organization can integrate their Salesforce application with Captivate Prime. As an integrator, you can also use FTP connector to auto import a set of users into your enterprise application.
Captivate Prime also provides the Lynda, getAbstract, and the Harvard Management System connectors. These connectors enable learners to access and consume courses from Lynda.com, getAbstract, and Harvard ManageMentor.
Read on to know how to configure and use each of these connectors in Captivate Prime.
Salesforce connector connects Captivate Prime and Salesforce accounts to automate data synchronization. Salesforce connector capabilities are as follows:
Map attributes
Integration Administrator can choose Salesforce columns and map them to corresponding Captivate Prime's group-able attributes. Once the mapping is completed, the same mapping is used in subsequent user imports. It can be reconfigured if Administrator wants to have a different mapping for importing users.
Automated user import
User import process allows Captivate Prime Administrator to fetch employee details from Salesforce and import them into Captivate Prime automatically. This automation avoids the manual effort involved in creating CSV and uploading into Prime.
Auto Schedule
Using auto scheduling feature along with automated user import feature can be effective. Captivate Prime Administrator can set up schedule according to organization's needs. Users in the Captivate Prime application can be up-to-date according to the schedule. Sync can be performed on daily basis in Captivate Prime application.
Filtering users
Captivate Prime Administrator can apply filtering on the users before importing them. For example, Captivate Prime Administrator can choose to import all users in the hierarchy under one or more specific Managers.
Ensure that you have your Salesforce organization URL with you. For example, if your organization name is myorg, the Salesforce URL could be https://myorg.salesforce.com. It is the only input which is required to connect Salesforce account with Captivate Prime.
Also make sure that you have the appropriate credentials to log in to the account.
Once connection is successfully established, you can map Salesforce columns to the corresponding attributes of Captivate Prime. This step is mandatory.
-
In the mapping page, on left side you can see Captivate Prime’s columns and on right side you can see the Salesforce columns. Select the appropriate column name that maps to the Captivate Prime’s column name.
Map attributes
Note:
Captivate Prime's column data shown on the left side are fetched from the active fields. The manager field must be mapped to a field of type email address. Mapping all the columns is mandatory before the connector can be used.
-
The connector is now ready for use. The account that has been configured and appears as a data source within the Administrator app. The administrator can schedule the import or for on-demand sync.
The connector is now ready for use. The account that has been configured and appears as a data source within the Administrator app. The administrator can schedule the import or for on-demand sync.
Salesforce connector connects to Salesforce.com to fetch the users as configured and add them to Captivate Prime.
Using the FTP connector, you can integrate Captivate Prime with arbitrary external systems to automate data synchronization. It is expected that external systems can export data in a CSV format and place it in the appropriate folder of the Captivate Prime FTP account. FTP connector capabilities are as follows:
You can also use the Box connector for data migration, user
User import process allows Captivate Prime Administrator to fetch employee details from the Captivate Prime FTP service and import them into Captivate Prime automatically. Using this feature, you can integrate multiple systems by placing the CSV generated by those systems in the appropriate folders of the FTP accounts. Captivate Prime picks up the CSV files, merges them, and imports the data according to the schedule. Refer to Scheduling feature for more information.
Map attributes
Integration Administrator can choose the columns of CSV and map them to Captivate Prime's group-able attributes. This mapping is one time effort. Once the mapping is done, the same mapping is used in subsequent User imports. The mapping can be reconfigured if the Administrator wants to have a different mapping for importing users.
The Data Export allows users to export user skills and learner transcripts to an FTP location to integrate with any third-party system.
Administrator can set up scheduling tasks as per organization's requirements and users in the Captivate Prime application are up-to-date according to the schedule. Similarly, Integration Admin can schedule skill export on a timely basis to be integrated with an external system. Sync can be performed on daily basis in Captivate Prime application.
-
Captivate Prime sends you an email prompting the user to reset the password before accessing the FTP for the first time. The user must reset the password and use it for accessing the Captivate Prime FTP account.
Note:
Only one Captivate Prime FTP account can be created for a given Captivate Prime account.
In the overview page, you can specify the Connection Name for your integration. Choose what action you want to take
from the following options:- Import Internal Users
- Import xAPI
- Export User Skills - Configure a Schedule
- Export User Skills - OnDemand
- Export Learner Transcripts - Configure a Schedule
- Export Learner Transcripts - OnDemand
Export options - Import Internal Users
Once connection is successfully established, you can map the columns of CSV files. It is placed in the FTP folder to the corresponding attributes of Captivate Prime. This step is mandatory.
-
The above step populates the right side select drop-down list with all the CSV column names. Select the appropriate column name that maps to the Captivate Prime’s column name.
Note:
The Manager field must be mapped to a field of type email address. Mapping all the columns is mandatory before the connector can be used.
1. The CSV files from external systems must be placed at the following path:
$OPERATION$/$OBJECT_TYPE$/$SUB_OBJECT_TYPE$/data.csv
Note: In the July 2016 Release, only import of users is allowed. Therefore to use the FTP connector, ensure that the CSV files are placed in the following folder:
Home/import/user/internal/*.csv
2. The FTP connector takes all rows from CSV files. It is important that the row corresponding to a user in one CSV does not appear in any other CSVs.
3. All CSVs must contain the columns specified in the mapping.
4. All the required CSVs must be present in the folder before the process begins.
Note:
While importing users into Captivate Prime, Administrator also have to know how users are managed in Captivate Prime. Refer to User Management Help to know more information.

You can export all the skills achieved by a user from Captivate Prime to Workday. Only all active user skills are exported and Captivate Prime does not export retired skills. You can also connect multiple prime accounts to the same Workday connector. In case the skill names are same in two Captivate Prime accounts, they are mapped to the same skill in Workday. Before updating the skill in Workday, in case two Prime accounts are using the same Workday account, it is advisable to update skill names in all Captivate Prime Accounts.
This option lets you schedule the extraction of the report. Ensure the Enable user-skill export using this connection check box is enabled. Select the Enable Schedule check box and specify the start date and time. You can also specify the interval at which you want the report to be generated and sent. Select the enable schedule check box and enter the Start date, Time, and Repeat after 'n' number of days. Once done, click Save.
