FAQs about Absorb Connectors
What type of data can be sync’d into the LMS?
With connectors you can sync learner-relevant data such as user information, course enrollment, performance metrics, attendance and participation certifications and qualifications, learning paths and progress: feedback and survey responses: managerial and hierarchical data, compliance data, HR related data and more. To learn more, please contact us.
How can I start using a Connector?
If you're a new or existing client, you can easily enhance your experience by adding our Connector feature. Once you've made the purchase, one of our Learner Integration experts will quickly get in touch. They'll ensure a secure connection, go over how data will be exchanged, and set up the connector so you can start using it right away.
How does using a Connector compare with custom integrations?
Creating custom integrations requires a special project handled by our expert team while a Connector can be set up in hours. The cost and time it takes can differ based on how complex the integration needs to be. You'll need to provide us with the initial list of user profiles, and whenever there are updates, you'll need to send us a file with the changes. Don't worry, we'll guide you on how to transfer these files securely using FTP.
How long does it take to set up an Absorb Connector?
Connectors are turnkey, which means instead of developers writing code for each client, pre-built components are selected and configured to meet a client’s requirements. The turnaround on setting up a Connector is a few business days, and the cost is fixed.
How often does the data update?
Our data updates depend on various factors. For example, if you are looking to connect with an HCM Connector, whenever there's a new user added to the system or any changes occur in the employee life cycle, we promptly update the data. However, we also cater to individual client preferences regarding update frequency. Some clients prefer scheduled updates for specific fields, while others require real-time updates.
