Create Yammer Connector in RecordPoint

Follow these steps to create the SocialConnect connector for Yammer within the RecordPoint system:

  1. Navigate to your RecordPoint system and ensure that you are logged in with an account that is a member of the ‘Record Administrator’ security group.
  2. Hover the mouse over the ‘Management’ menu and click ‘Settings’.
  3. From the ‘Application Management’ section, click ‘Connectors’.
  4. Click the ‘New Item’ link.
  5. The ‘Configure Connector’ dialog appears.
  6. Select ‘Social’ from the ‘Connector Type’ drop-down.
  7. Select ‘Yammer’ from the ‘Connector Source’ drop-down.
  8. Enter a name for the new connector – Yammer feed or similar will suffice. This is just an internal RecordPoint name for the connector and bears no significance.
  9. Enter the Yammer ID using the name of the app you created earlier. In our screenshot, the app name is YammerRP.
  10. In the Consumer Key box, enter the value for ‘Client ID’ that you noted earlier.
  11. In the Consumer Secret box, enter the value for ‘Client Secret’ that you noted earlier.
  12. In the Access Token box, enter the value for ‘Personal Token for Testing’ that you noted earlier.
  13. Select the ‘Aggregation’ setting you decided upon in step 2.2.
  14. Select the ‘Conversation Types’ setting you decided upon in Step 2.3.
  15. Pressing the validate button will verify that RecordPoint is able to connect to the Yammer service using the details specified. Should the validation fail, please carefully review the values you entered above and try again.
  16. Select the relevant poll interval for the connector that you decided upon in Step 2.5. Ensure you enter a value in the ‘Start every’ box.
  17. Once you are happy that you have configured the connector correctly, check the ‘Enabled’ box (under the Connector Name) and, finally, press the ‘Save’ button.
It is recommended that an IISRESET and restart of the SharePoint Timer Service is undertaken at this stage.
