Insights Connector Contract

This contract is currently in the Proof-of-concept stage and is still subject to change

Introduction

Our product can integrate with a variety of tools that offer additional insights into your object. By configuring new Module Plugins with the category “Insights”, MediaHaven will produce a list of reports by combining all reports across all plugins of this category.

Configuration

The module plugin can be configured with the following custom property called “Fields” which is a JSON object with as key the insight ID and as value the dotted key of the Metadata Fields to store the insight’s data in.

  }
