  • 1.  Connecting external form to DB

    Posted May 17, 2019 12:47 PM

    Hello All,

     

    Can the CA database be accessed by external source? Let’s say a form?

     Is it possible to add values in the database using an external form?

     

     

    Eg: I want to create a form in sharepoint that adds values into the DB.

     

    Thank you

     

    Danielle

    Yes if you know the database details however direct insert/update to clarity database is not advised. Its best to use the xog to do the integration.

    You should use a db connector.

    Rego has a Microsoft Flow connector that does this.  It connects Clarity to any of the MS tools.  A very common use case is to take a form on SharePoint for Idea collection and to import that to ideas on the Clarity side.

    We would usually recommend against going directly to the database.

    Thanks,
