How to add a Bazaarvoice account in Sprinklr?

Updated 

In this article, we will cover the steps to add a new Bazaarvoice account in Sprinklr.

With our updated integration with Bazaarvoice, you will be able to add your Bazaarvoice account to Sprinklr and leverage our engagement, taxonomy, governance, and rule engine capabilities to route reviews or questions to the appropriate department, using dashboards, queues, and macros to define your workflow. 

Note:

To learn more about getting this capability enabled in your environment, work with your Success Manager.

Before You Begin

Ensure that you have Conversations API Key and Response API Key of a supported Bazaarvoice account.

  1. Conversations API Key: This key will allow Sprinklr to ingest and display all native Ratings and Reviews content, as well as native Questions and Answers. For more information see, Steps to Request API Keys.

  2. Response API Key: This key will allow Sprinklr to create, view, update, and delete responses to native reviews. For more information, see Steps to Request API Keys.

Note:

Currently, accounts can be added only from http://space.sprinklr.com/ if you have a client-specific Sprinklr URL, accounts will have to be added in http://space.sprinklr.com/ and then engagement can be done by accessing the client-specific link.

Steps to Request API Keys

  1. Submit a request for API Keys to Bazaarvoice Support by opening a ticket through the Bazaarvoice Support Community, or emailing to support@bazaarvoice.com.

  2. Bazaarvoice will provision the API keys and they will be available to you in the Developer Tools section of Bazaarvoice Portal
