Installing the Creditsafe Plugin

Last updated : 14/12/2018

Pre-requisite: In order to use the Workbooks Creditsafe Integration you will need a Creditsafe Connect account that can be provisioned from Creditsafe as a part of your account.

The first step of accessing Creditsafe data within Workbooks is to install the Plugin, this plugin will install a number of Custom Fields within your Database that will be populated by the integration. It will also create a new menu item that will allow you to monitor the integration once setup.
To install the plugin you will need to go to Start > Configuration > Automation > Plugins once on the Plugins page simply select Add Plugin.

Once selected the you will be provided with the Summary and Description of Script which outlines the steps that need to be followed in order to fully set up the integration.

Once you press install Workbooks will start creating the Custom Fields and Processes that are required. Whilst this is happening the Plugin will ask you to log in to your Creditsafe account. It is important that you supply the credentials for the Creditsafe Connect service, not just your Creditsafe user interface login. The username takes the form of an email address and the password is usually generated by Creditsafe and is 24 characters long.
