Create account, install template, and run a cycle

This document describes how to approach the following use case via API calls

Creating an Account
Installing a Template into it
Authenticating the Connector
Setting the Step Field Mapping

Note: Throughout this document, the domain used in the example requests is api.cyclr.com.

If you are on the UK instance, this should be replaced with api.cyclr.uk, and for the EU, api.eu.cyclr.com.

1. Create Account

curl -X POST --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Accept: application/json' -d  '{ \ 
 "Id": "(Optional) The External Account ID you would like for this account", \  "Name": "Account Name", \ 
 "Description": "(Optional) Account Description", \ 
 "Timezone": "(Optional) Timezone for the account, IANA time zone database format.", \  }' 'https://api.cyclr.com/v1.0/accounts'

2. Install template into new account

curl -X POST --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Accept: application/json' -- header 'X-Cyclr-Account: ACCOUNT ID FROM PREVIOUS STEP' -d '{ \  }' 'https://api.cyclr.com/v1.0/templates/TEMPLATE-ID/install'

Depending on the template being installed, there may be more to specify in this call, but this is the minimum.

3. Authenticate connector (OAuth)

curl -X POST --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Accept:  application/json' -d '{ \
"Username": "string" \ 
 }' 'https://api.cyclr.com/v1.0/accounts/ACCOUNT ID FROM STEP 1/signintoken'

3b. Update Connector Auth

curl --request POST \
  --url 'https://YOUR-SERVICE-DOMAIN/connectorauth/updateaccountconnectoroauth?id=ACCOUNT CONNECTOR ID FROM STEP 2&token=TOKEN-FROM-STEP-3a&targetOrigin=https://www.cyclr.com'

Your service domain can be found by visiting General Settings in your Cyclr console. It generally has a format matching one of the following:

mycompany-h.cyclr.com
mycompany-h.eu.cyclr.com
mycompany-h.cyclr.uk

targetOrigin should be either the origin of another browser window for the JavaScript callback event to be dispatched to, or a URL to redirect the user to.

4. Set Step Field Mapping

curl -X PUT --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Accept: application/json' --header 'X-Cyclr-Account: ACCOUNT ID FROM STEP 1' -d '{ \ 
     "Field": { \ 
         "Id": 0 \ 
     }, \ 
     "MappingType": "StaticValue", \ 
     "Value": "string" \ 
 }' 'https://api.cyclr.com/v1.0/steps/STEP-ID-FROM-STEP-2/fieldmappings/FIELD-ID-FROM-STEP-2'

5. Start Cycle

curl -X PUT --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Accept: application/json' -- header 'X-Cyclr-Account: Account ID' -d '{ \ 
 "StartTime": "2021-12-07T09:17:50.888Z", \ 
 "Interval": 0, \ 
 "RunOnce": true \ 
 }' 'https://api.cyclr.com/v1.0/cycles/Cycle ID/activate'
