Submit your source

The final step to integrating your new source to Adobe Experience Platform using Self-Serve Sources (Batch SDK) is to test your source for verification. Once successful, you can then submit your new source by contacting your Adobe representative.

The following document provides steps on how to test and debug your source using the Flow Service API.

Getting started

Test your source

To test your source, you must run the Self-Serve Sources verification collection and environment on Postman while providing the appropriate environment variables that pertain to your source.

To start testing, you must first set up the collection and environment on Postman. Next, specify the connection specification ID that you want to test.

Specify authSpecName

Once you have entered your connection specification ID, you must then specify the authSpecName that you are using for your base connection. Depending on your choice, this could be either OAuth 2 Refresh Code or Basic Authentication. Once you specify your authSpecName, you must then include its required credentials in your environment. For example, if you specify authSpecName as OAuth 2 Refresh Code, then you must provide the required credentials for OAuth 2, which are host and accessToken.

Specify sourceSpec

With your authentication specification parameters added, you must next add required properties from your source specification. You can find the required properties in sourceSpec.spec.properties. In the case of the MailChimp Members example below, the only required property is listId, which means listId and it’s corresponding ID value to your Postman environment.

"spec": {
  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
  "type": "object",
  "description": "Define user input parameters to fetch resource values.",
  "properties": {
    "listId": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "listId for which members need to fetch."
    }
  }
}

Once your authentication and source specification parameters are provided, you can start populating the rest of your environment variables, see the table below for reference:

Once you have provided all of your environment variables, you can start running the collection using the Postman interface. In the Postman interface, select the ellipses (…) beside Sources SSSs Verification Collection and then select Run collection.

The Runner interface appears, allowing you to configure the run order of your dataflow. Select Run SSS Verification Collection to run the collection.

Submit your source

Once your source is able to complete the entire workflow you can proceed to contact your Adobe representative and submit your source for integration.
