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.

Transfer reconciliation

  • Records sent, destinations and failed transfers
  • Missing or unmatched information
  • Next steps for your team to review
Illustrative work with Google Cloud Storage: a request to Neil, the source it reads and what it returns.

1What’s connected.

Bring files from Google Cloud Storage buckets into Seal, or archive Seal exports there, through a connection set up with Seal’s API or Scripts. Agree the buckets, service-account permissions and handling of changed or duplicate files.

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.
