Create user RMP connector: User Metadata

[somesh.m...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I have been able to use the RMP Secured Connector - "Create a new user" to create RMP Accounts successfully. But from the connector documentation and request payload, there seem to be no way to insert values into the User metadata custom fields, while creating the user.

Can you please suggest a way to insert values into the user metadata attribute, while creating a new RMP user account? We have a Member_Number metadata field on the User Account and this drives the experience for every user that logs into our RMP application. Hence, there is a need to be able to set the value for Member_Number while creating the RMP User account.

Thanks!

Digging into the User guide: I read this Freemarker example:

https://sites.google.com/a/runmyprocess.com/user-guide-runmyprocess/3---developer-guide/processes/freemarker-code/get-and-update-users-metadata

If the create account api does not facilitate feeding the metadata in, is it a good idea to update the data using the Freemarker explained in the tutorial above once the user account has been created?

Please provide your feedback. Thanks!

Hi Somesh,

1 - you will not be able to set users' metadata in the same time as creating it. (url for user creation is ..config/${P_customer}/user/ while updating users requires that you specify the user id wuth that url : ..config/${P_customer}/user/${user_id}/).

2 - Indeed, you should use the save_user_metadata() function (as output variable of user creation). The API were created for that use. Nevertheless, let me give you the PUT request you must send (in case you want to bypasse the save_user_metadata() function) :
