Vocean Connector

---

Vocean is the space for co-creation. This is where ideas meet and grow strong together. Here you can harness the intelligence of collectives, empower people and determine the way forward. For more information, visit Vocean. With the API provided by Vocean you can retrieve information that participants have contributed with in different activities. It is also possible to instead let a trigger inform you, for example, when an idea is added, or you are added to a Vocean activity.

Publisher: Vocean AB

Prerequisites

---

You must be a member of a Vocean space, appointed with a Vocean Premium Leader license. If you are not a member of a Vocean space yet you can easily sign up for a space of your own here.

Restrictions

---

Within Vocean you can be a member of several spaces, the Vocean Connector allows you to reach all your spaces where you have Vocean Premium Leader rights. However, to be able to retrieve data from an activity you must also be a leader of the specified activity. (If you have a Leader license in a Vocean space you can access its members page and see if you have the Premium Leader license flag enabled on your membership.)

Getting Started

---

• Call the relevant action from the Connector (for example, Get ideas for an Innovate activity) and in relevant cases choose the activity in the dropdown. Note: you then need to first choose the network to get a dropdown for activities.

When needed:

• Create an activity.
• Invite others to participate and await their contributions.

Known Limitations

---

The Data API has restrictions in terms of the size of the Response and returns a maximum of 1,000 items for the ‘Get’ actions. Note that the number of votes matches the number of respondents in Vote activities, while each idea and each response to a question in an Explore activity count as a separate item and the number of respondents might be far less than 1,000 if each respondent contributes with more than one idea or if there are more than one question in the Explore activity. (For Explore responses the maximum is actually slightly increased if 1,000 is not evenly dividable by the number of questions in the activity.)

The dropdowns for spaces and activities are limited to 100 items.
