Harvest Connector
What is happening?
At Domo, we take pride in providing the industry leading, best time to value solution with an eco-system of over 500 connectors. We regularly review our connector offerings and make enhancements to provide a more robust experience for our customers.
Harvest has announced that they will be deprecating their v1 API to provide a more robust experience via the new v2 API. To ensure that we provide the best experience for our customers, we will also be deprecating the current v1 Harvest connector and release a new Harvest v2 connector.
When is this change happening?
We will be retiring the v1 Harvest connector on December 31, 2018, at the end of the day.
How does this impact me?
You will have to power up the new Harvest v2 connector and re-create all of your DataSets by December 31, 2018, end of day.
What do I have to do?
Please re-create all of your DataSets in the new Harvest v2 connector by December 31, 2018, to avoid any interruption.
Intro
Harvest offers time tracking, invoicing, expense tracking, and time-based reporting. Use Domo's Harvest connector to retrieve data about expenses, invoices, projects and tasks, clients, and so on. To learn more about the Harvest API, visit their page (http://help.getharvest.com/api/).
You connect to your Harvest account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Harvest connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
Prerequisites
To connect to your Harvest account and create a DataSet, you must have your Harvest username and password OR a Google account. You must also know the name of your Harvest instance, as this is required for all reports. This is your company name as it appears in your Harvest URL. For example, if your URL was domo.harvestapp.com, the instance would be domo.
Connecting to Your Harvest Account
This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the Harvest Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
Credentials Pane
The Domo Harvest connector uses OAuth to connect, so there is no need to enter credentials within Domo. Click Connect (or select Add Account if you have existing Harvest accounts in Domo) to open the Harvest OAuth screen where you can enter your Harvest username and password. (You can also enter Google credentials to authenticate.) Once you have entered valid credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to create a new Harvest DataSet. You can manage connector accounts in the Accounts tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see Managing User Accounts for Connectors.
Details Pane
This pane contains a primary Reports menu, along with various other menus which may or may not appear depending on the report type you select.
