Overview
In the ClickPoint Integration: URL Endpoint Tab, you'll define where leads are posted and what content is being sent. The settings here determine how and where LeadExec delivers lead information.
Key Functionality
Method: Choose the HTTP method (e.g., POST) as specified in the client’s documentation.
Production URL: Enter the endpoint URL for the live/production system.
Testing/Sandbox URL: If applicable, enter the endpoint for testing or sandbox environments.
Content-Type: Specify the content type (e.g., application/json, application/xml) per client requirements.
Timeout: Set how long LeadExec waits for a response before timing out; defaults to 30 seconds.
Custom Headers: Add any additional HTTP headers required by the receiving system.
How to Use This Feature
Navigate to the URL Endpoint tab within your ClickPoint Integration Delivery Method configuration.
Populate each field:
Method: Select as instructed in the client’s posting documentation.
Production URL: Paste the live endpoint URL.
Testing/Sandbox URL: Paste the testing endpoint, if one exists.
Content-Type: Choose the appropriate header value.
Timeout: Adjust if the default 30 seconds isn't suitable.
Custom Headers: Add any additional headers the receiving system requires.
Once all fields are complete and verified, proceed to the Authentication tab for the next step in the setup process.
Best Practices
Client Documentation First: Refer to the client’s technical documentation to ensure you use the correct method, URLs, content type, and header format.
Test Before Production: Always fill in the Testing/Sandbox URL and simulate a delivery before switching to the production environment.
Validate Content-Type: Ensure the specified content type matches the receiving system’s expected format to avoid parsing errors.
Troubleshooting
Delivery Failures: If leads fail to post, verify that both production and testing URLs are correct and accessible.
Timeout Errors: If the receiving system is slow to respond, consider increasing the timeout value above the default of 30 seconds.
Header or Content-Type Rejection: If the system rejects requests, double-check the format and values of your
Content-Typeand custom headers.
