Overview

The following guide will walk you through configuring your Tazworks system to work with Ferretly such that you can order social media reports and receive the reports via the Tazworks system. This works via an integration Ferretly provides for our partners which have active subscriptions with us.


Manage interface settings

Login to Tazworks then complete the following:

  • Navigate to Admin > Vendors > Manage Interface Settings

  • Make sure Ferretly is enabled on backend with Tazworks support

  • Enter the credentials for Ferretly under Data Providers tab

Manage vendors

Here you will set up Ferretly as a vendor in Tazworks. Navigate to Admin>Vendors>ManageVendors to add a new vendor then complete the following:

  • Click Add new vendor

  • Enter basic Vendor information then Click Save

  • Click on Searches tab at top Click Searches dropdown. Select all searches that apply to vendor

  • Go into each search and choose “Embedded Interface”

  • Select provider from Data Provider dropdown

  • Click Save

Manage vendor routing

Complete the following steps to set up vendor routing in Tazworks:

  • Navigate to Admin>Vendors>Manage Vendor Routing

  • Choose search type that Ferretly supports (Social)

  • Click Add.

  • Select Vendor (Ferretly) configured in prior step.

  • click Save.

Test the integration

Ferretly will provide you a minimum of 1 free credit in order for you to test that the integration is functioning properly.  You will then place an order and enter a subject as you would normally in Tazworks.  Choose Social Media as the report type and fill in the subject details and enter the candidate’s social profiles either as complete URL’s or just the handles.  When the subject background has completed and it is marked as redressed you will then be able to access the report from within Tazworks. 

Within Tazworks the report will be provided via PDF attachment in the Attachments section of the Report Results page. Results for the search itself may be viewed within the search editor of the Social Media Search. For additional attachment settings, please review the Social Media Search knowledge base article found on the TazWorks help section.
