Link an interaction with an entity’s crosswalk value

Learn how to link an entity to an interaction using the entity’s crosswalk value.

If you’re an Integration Specialist or Administrator creating interactions in Reltio Integration Hub, then this topic is for you. You'll get the most out of this topic if you first read topics Transaction and Interaction Data, Interaction perspective for Reltio 360 Data Products, and Interactions API.

If you need to link a Reltio entity as the target of an interaction, use its source (crosswalk) ID to create and link using the RIH Reltio Connector. To do this, specify the interaction type to create one or more interaction records and then link it to the target entity's crosswalk ID.

To link an interaction with an entity crosswalk:

  1. In the Integration Hub home page, create a recipe for your interaction type:
    1. In the left navigation pane, select Recipes.
