Tribal Edge modules, such as Tribal Admissions, provide staff and students the tools they need to succeed in the world of education. Use the Tribal connector to be notified of events and to query and manipulate entities within the Tribal Edge module.

Prerequisites

Before setting up the Tribal connector, you require the following:

An account that can view or edit data in the relevant Tribal Edge module, such as Admissions.
The tenant name for the institution. If you do not know the tenant name, contact Tribal support.
The geographical region of the institution, such as APAC or EMEA.

How to get credentials

To set up the Tribal Connector, you must have an account with the following permissions:

Permissions to perform actions in the relevant Tribal Edge module. For example, to retrieve details from Reference data, the account must have read permissions for Reference data.
Permission to subscribe to events.

Getting started with the Tribal connector

Events from Tribal Edge modules can be used to create automated flows in Power Automate. For example, to email a member of staff when an applicant's contact details are updated in Admissions. Automated flows are also used to perform actions within Tribal Edge modules. For example, to create a new clearance check type in Reference data.

Set up Power Automate to create an automated flow as follows:

On Power Automate, search for the Tribal connector and then define the following:

Setting	Details
Environment	The institution environment used by the connector. For example, Development.
Region	The region of the institution, such as EMEA or APAC.
Tribal tenant ID	The tenant name for the institution, such as Caltech.
Service name	The service name of the Tribal Edge module. For example, Admissions.

Connect to the Tribal connector using the account details to create the connection.

Wait for the connection. Then, on connecting you can use the triggers and actions in automated flows.

Examples

The following examples use the Tribal connector and connectors for Microsoft Excel, Forms, and Teams.

Flow to update person records in Excel. On updating a person's details in Admissions, a trigger starts an automated flow that retrieves the details of the change and then updates the person's details in Excel.
Approval flow for clearance checks. Create a Microsoft Form for requesting a new clearance check types. On completing and submitting the form, an approval request is sent to the admissions supervisor. Then, on approval the clearance check type is added to Reference data.

Known issues and limitations

Some triggers only contain unique identifiers for the event and require an additional action to retrieve the details of the event. Note that the account used to start the Tribal connector must have permissions to view the data in the required Tribal Edge module.
Additional triggers, actions, and documentation will be published in future releases.

Common errors and remedies

Some actions may result in a permission error if you do not have permission to view the data in Tribal Admissions. If you cannot resolve the permission error, contact your institution administrator or Tribal Support.
