Intro
Percolate's complete web and mobile marketing software increases productivity, elevates your brand, and helps you generate more sales. To learn more about the Percolate API, visit their page (https://percolate.com/docs/api/).
You connect to your Percolate account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Percolate 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 Percolate account and create a DataSet, you must have a Percolate API key. For information about obtaining an API key, contact your Percolate account representative.
Connecting to Your Percolate Account
This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the Percolate 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 Percolate account. The following table describes what is needed for each field:
Field |

API Key | Enter your Percolate API key. |
Once you have entered valid Percolate credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to create a new Percolate 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.
