  • Method: POST
  • Payload:
event: String required,  //  'survey-completed'<
uri: String required,  //  uri of the survey results
surveyKey: string required,
respondentExternalId: String optional,  //  passed to PDP via API or survey link (e.g., employee id)

Example payload:

{
event: 'survey-completed',
uri: `https://www.my.pdpworks.com/external-api/surveys/AB32DS83`,
surveyKey: 'AB32DS83',
respondentExternalId: '34598437'

PDP Client APIs

General Notes

  1. These APIs may be called to PDP by a client.
  2. Calls require TLS 1.2. (TLS 1.0 and 1.1 are not supported.)
  3. The client's endpoint API must respond with any HTTPS success code (2xx) within 5000ms, otherwise, PDP will retry the call multiple times until successful or the maximum retries is reached.

Tips

  • Keep your code as simple as possible.
  • Log the data sent from PDP and immediately return an HTTPS success status code (2xx).
  • Perform post-processing of the data received from PDP after sending the success status code (2xx) to avoid timeouts and unnecessary retries.

Authentication

  • PDP will provide the service username.
  • The password is managed by the client's Key Contact in the API Configuration area of the [user] > My Information page in the my.PDPworks.com account.
  • Authentication uses Basic Authentication
  • The header will be in the format—Authentication: Basic {credentials}
  • The credentials are Base64 encoded username and password, separated by a colon (:)
  • More information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication
