SurveyMonkey Query authentication guide

Overview

This is a step-by-step guide to creating an OAuth entry, acquiring credentials and authorising the SurveyMonkey Query connector for use in Matillion ETL.

Important Information

• The SurveyMonkey Query connector uses an OAuth for third-party authentication.
• While connector properties may differ between Cloud Data Warehouses, the authentication process remains the same.

Creating an OAuth Entry in Matillion ETL

1. In Matillion ETL, on the top left corner of the screen, click Project → Manage OAuth.

   Please Note

   If a SurveyMonkey Query connector has already been added to an Orchestration Job, the Manage OAuth window may also be accessed using the following method:

   1. Click the connector icon to open the Properties panel at the bottom of the screen.
   2. Click ... next to the Authentication input, and finally click Manage in the pop-up window.
   

   Project dropdown menu

2. Copy the Callback URL in the field at the top of the window as this will be required in Acquiring Third-Party Credentials.

3. Click + in the bottom left corner of the window to open the Create OAuth Entry window.

   

   New OAuth Entry

4. Click on the Service dropdown menu and select SurveyMonkey. Then, provide a name for the OAuth in the Name field and click OK.

   

   Create OAuth Entry window

5. On returning to the Manage OAuth window, check the list of OAuths to ensure the new entry is listed.

   Please Note

   This entry is Not Configured. Configuration of the OAuth entry will be discussed in Authorising for use in Matillion ETL.

Acquiring Third-Party Credentials

1. Navigate to the SurveyMonkey Developer portal. Click Sign In on the right of the header menu. The browser will then redirect to a login screen. Enter valid login credentials to continue.

   

   Sign in to SurveyMonkey Developer portal

2. Next, on the SurveyMonkey Developer homepage, click My Apps on the left of the header menu.

3. On the My Apps page, click Add a New App on the top right of the page.

   

   Add a New App

4. The App Creation window will then open. Provide details for the following fields:

   • App Nickname – provide a name for the app
   • Select an App type – select whether the app will be built for the App Directory or just a private team, then click Create App
   

   App Creation

5. A page for the newly created app will open. From here, click the Settings tab at the top of the page. Then, in the OAuth Redirect URL field, paste the Callback URL (copied earlier from the Manage OAuth window in Matillion ETL) and click Submit Changes.

6. Then, in the Credentials sections, copy the codes below Client ID and Secret as they will be required in Authorising for use in Matillion ETL.

   Please Note

   • In order to copy the Secret, 👁 must first be clicked to make it visible.
   • Additionally, when copying the codes, some browsers may add a space to the end of the string. Watch out for this as it will cause the credentials to fail.
   

   Copy the Client ID and Secret

7. Next, scroll further down the Settings page to the Scopes section, and click the following scopes:

   • View Responses
   • View Response Details
   • View Users
   • View Survey
   • View Contacts
   • View Collectors, then click Update Scopes

2. Using the codes copied from the SurveyMonkey Developer portal earlier, provide details for the following fields:

   • Client ID – enter the Client ID
   • Client Secret – enter the Secret, then click Next
   

   Configure OAuth settings

3. The next window will have an Authorization Link. Click the link to authorise Matillion ETL to use the acquired credentials.
