Once the connection is configured, I’ll use the records it provides and cite each one. Anything it doesn’t supply stays listed as missing.

  • Next steps for your team to review
Illustrative work with Dropbox: a request to Neil, the source it reads and what it returns.

1What’s connected.

Exchange files between Dropbox and Seal through a connection set up with Seal’s API or Scripts. Agree which folders are in scope, which system holds the controlled version of each document and how changed or deleted files are handled.

Connection setup and permissions

Use Seal’s APIs or scripting engine for a connection tailored to your process. Agree the data mapping, access and direction of transfer before implementation.

2Start with the job.

Tell us what Neil needs to do and which records it needs. We’ll confirm the interface, permissions and implementation scope with your team.

3Before it goes live.

Access and any write-back

Define which records are in scope and whose permissions apply. Whether the connection writes back at all is a separate decision, with its own mapping and approval.

Data and failure handling

Agree the field mapping, identifiers, units and source of record. Test missing or duplicate data, interrupted transfers and recovery before relying on the connection.

Verification and release

Review the configured connection for its intended use. Keep the requirements, checks and evidence with the change, and approve the release through your team’s controls.
