Step 3: Build Data Connector

  1. Navigate to Content > Connectors.

  2. Click + Add Connector.

  3. Under Native Sources, select Yext Account.

  4. Under Operation, select Fetch Entities.

  5. Paste the API key you generated in your source account.

  6. Under V Param, input today’s date in the format YYYYMMDD (e.g., 20230810).

  7. Under Environment, input api if you are pulling from a production account, and sandbox if you’re pulling from a sandbox account.

  8. Under Entity Type, input the API name of the entity type you are pulling (e.g., healthcareProfessionals or ce_blogs).

  9. Click Pull in the top right corner. You can click View Raw Response to confirm that your entities look right.

The remaining steps to build out a data connector are standard and not specific to pulling from a Yext account. You can use the Pull Connector Guide (starting at step 3) if you need further guidance specifying selectors, adding transforms, or mapping fields.
