How can an Anthology integration help our staff, students, and broader campus community?
Integrating Anthology Engage with your uConnect platform helps automatically promote key student engagement content, like events and organizations, to your entire campus community and beyond. With no manual effort required, you can boost student participation while freeing up staff time and showcasing campus life to prospective students, parents, and employers.
⚠️ Important Requirement
To enable integration between Anthology Engage and uConnect, your institution must have access to Anthology’s Powerful APIs and Data Integration elevated permissions. These features are not included by default and may require an additional purchase.
Please consult your institution’s Anthology Engage administrator to confirm your access and obtain more information.
Here's how it works
With the Anthology integration, new events and organizations are pulled into uConnect via their REST API.
Imported Fields
For events, we can import the following fields:
event name
description
start date and time
end date and time
location
flyer URL
event URL, and
author name (event creator)
For organizations, we can import the following fields:
organization name
organization abbreviation / short name
description / summary
profile URL
external website URL
email for primary contact
profile image URL
Mapping
For events, we can map categories in Anthology to your event categories in uConnect.
For organizations, we can map categories and types in Anthology to organization categories and communities in uConnect, respectively.
This level of mapping and organization ensures that an automated workflow can scale your customized support, by feeding organizations and events onto the relevant community pages, without any maintenance required from your team.
Alternatively, if you’d prefer to approve which organizations and events are published to uConnect instead of having all of them showcased through the automated workflow, the uConnect team can configure your integration to pull new postings into a “pending section” of your dashboard. Here, your team can approve which events or organizations they’d like to feature and delete any remaining ones.
With either workflow, backend users can quickly sort through all events and organizations pulled in from your integration in one central place: the “Publish” section of your dashboard. This makes events and organizations easy to manage and edit.
