Intro

Use this connector to export your data from a Domo DataSet to a URL that accepts HTTP posts. The post body will be a JSON array of JSON row objects. The connector will send 100 rows of data at a time.

You export DataSet data to JSON in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the JSON Post Writeback 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 configure this connector, you will need a Domo Client ID and Client Secret. To obtain these credentials, do the following:

  1. Log into your Domo developer account at https://developer.domo.com/login. 

  2. Create a new client. 

  3. Select the desired data and user application scope.

  4. Click Create.

Configuring the Connection

This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the JSON Post Writeback 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

This pane contains fields for entering credentials to connect to your Domo developer account. The following table describes what is needed for each field:

Description

Domo Client ID

For information about obtaining these credentials, see "Prerequisites," above. Once you have entered valid credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to set up a new Domo-JSON connection. 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 number of fields for specifying your data and indicating where it's going.
