Cerebrate Integration

Overview

Cerebrate integration provides automated organizational data synchronization between Cerebrate platform and Oju. This unidirectional synchronization (Cerebrate → Oju) automatically creates entities, manages focal points, and maintains organizational relationships based on Cerebrate data.

Configuration Setup

Data Synchronization

Synchronization Mapping

Cerebrate → Oju Mapping:

  • Organizations → Entities (monitored organizations)

  • Individuals → Focal Points (contact persons)

  • Tags → Functions (organizational roles)

  • Alignments → Entity-Focal Point Relationships

Data Direction:

  • Unidirectional synchronization (Cerebrate → Oju only)

  • Cerebrate serves as master data source

  • Local changes may be overwritten during sync

  • Conflict resolution favors Cerebrate data

Organization Synchronization

Entity Creation and Updates:

  • Organization Name → Entity Name

  • Organization Sector → Entity Description

  • Organization URLs → Platform Creation

  • Meta Fields → Additional Platform URLs

Individual Synchronization

Focal Point Creation and Updates:

  • Full Name → Focal Point Name

  • Email → Focal Point Email (primary identifier)

  • Meta Fields Phone → Focal Point Phone Numbers

  • Tags → Function Assignment

Function Assignment:

  • Default function for untagged individuals

  • First tag assignment as primary function

  • Function creation from Cerebrate tags

Synchronization Operations

Scheduled Execution:

  • Periodic synchronization based on configured frequency

  • Background processing via Celery tasks

  • Status tracking and error reporting

On-Demand Refresh:

  • Manual refresh trigger available

  • Immediate synchronization execution

  • Progress monitoring and status reporting

  • Error handling and resolution

Rate Limiting:

  • Manual refresh limited to prevent abuse

  • Cooldown period between manual executions

  • Automatic rate limit enforcement

  • Error notification for excessive requests

Conflict Resolution

Data Precedence Rules: * Cerebrate data takes precedence over local changes * Email addresses serve as unique identifiers * Newer Cerebrate data overwrites local modifications * Relationship updates favor Cerebrate alignments

Data Management

Contact Status Management

Active Status Control:

  • Cerebrate individuals → Active focal points

  • Missing individuals → Inactive focal points

  • Status synchronization during each refresh

  • Automated deactivation for removed contacts

Deactivation Process:

  • Identify focal points not present in Cerebrate

  • Mark absent contacts as inactive

  • Preserve historical relationship data

  • Maintain audit trail for status changes

Cerebrate integration streamlines organizational data management by automatically synchronizing entities, contacts, and relationships, ensuring data consistency and reducing manual administrative overhead while maintaining data quality and security standards.
