Taleo Connector

Note: Before working with the Taleo connector, you should be familiar with general Process Development

The Taleo Connector is designed to allow you to move data into and out of the Taleo application. As a Taleo user, you can use Boomi AtomSphere's Taleo connector to integrate any on-premise applications and legacy systems. This connector can also be used for integrating Taleo with other On Demand or SaaS based applications such as Intacct, Salesforce, Netsuite, etc.

The Taleo connector will connect directly to the Taleo application and browse the interfaces real-time. If any of your Taleo objects are customized with additional fields, these fields will automatically appear when browsing the Taleo interface with Boomi AtomSphere.

Integrating with Taleo consists of web service calls utilizing XML request/response setup over an HTTPS connection. The technical details of this connection such as request headers, error handling, HTTPS connection, etc. are all abstracted from the user to simplify the implementation.

Connector Configuration

Configuring a connector to communicate with Taleo requires the setup of two different components:

• Taleo Connection
• Taleo Operation

This design allows for reusability of the components, which contain connection settings (CompanyCode, Username, Password) and operation settings (Object, Action, Data Definitions). Once your connection and operation are built, you will need to set up your connector within the Process. Once the Taleo connector is defined properly within your process, Boomi AtomSphere will be able to map to and from virtually any system using the connector to retrieve data from or send data to the Taleo application.

Prerequisites

Either a new user needs to be created within Taleo, or an existing user can be utilized to access the Taleo API with the Boomi - Taleo Connector. AtomSphere connectivity is subjected to the same Access Control restrictions as defined within the Taleo application. Please validate the controls you will need the API to use and define a user with the approprate controls accordingly.
