Medallia
Medallia (opens in a new tab) is a customer experience management platform that helps organizations collect, analyze, and act on customer feedback through surveys, reviews, and other feedback mechanisms to improve customer satisfaction and loyalty.
Prerequisites
Medallia requires a Service Account (opens in a new tab) to be created in order to manage access to external clients such as Fides. To create a Service Account, Internal Admin capabilities are required. Once an Service Account is created, a Client (opens in a new tab) is required to access on behalf of the account. In the Client screen, create a new client, noting the Client Secret generated, since its a one time only show, and select Client Credentials Grant as the grant type.
More details can be found on the following docs (opens in a new tab)
In order to set up the Erasure request on Medallia, you need to create an Erasure Web Feed (opens in a new tab). Setting up this feed will create an endpoint where to send the identity data to be removed

Technical detail
Fides utilizes API endpoints to access the API service for a SaaS application. An API service is the programmatic interface through which Fides can query and update data within an application to access, rectify, or delete personal information. Each SaaS tool will have a unique set of endpoints to enable privacy functions.

| Erasure Requests | Inbound Async Import (opens in a new tab) | Used to send the Inbound csv file to the erasure importer on Medallia. |
