(b) Task 2: Integrate Daton with ParcelLab
- Log in to your Daton account and search for ParcelLab in the list of Connectors, then click Configure.
- Enter or select the following details and click Authenticate:
- Integration Name. Note that the Integration Name will be used to create the integration tables and cannot be modified later.
- Optionally, add a description to identify the integration.
- Replication Frequency
- Replication Start Date
- Optionally, expand the Advanced Configuration Options section and, based on your requirements, modify the options to control the loading behavior of Daton.
- Provide the ParcelLab Credentials (Generated in Task1) to authenticate the integration. Then click Authenticate.
- Integration Name. Note that the Integration Name will be used to create the integration tables and cannot be modified later.

After successful authentication, you will be prompted to choose from the list of available tables. Select the required tables and click Next.
Based on your requirement, select specific options for each selected table.

Click on Next.
Select the required fields for each table and click Submit.

Note that you will be prompted to select the destination for your account.
Select the destination for extracting ParcelLab data for replication and click Confirm. An integration successful message will be displayed.
Important Note:
- Integrations would begin in the Pending state and change to the Active state once the first job successfully loaded data into the configured warehouse.
- Users can check job status and process logs from the integration details page by clicking on the integration name in the active list.
- Users can Re-Authenticate, Edit, Clone, Pause or Delete the integration at any moment by clicking on settings. You can also adjust the frequency and history of the integration.
- On the Sources page, click Integration to access each table in your integration. The page also shows the state of each table, the last replicated time, and the Reload access buttons.
