Testing the Anthology integration typically happens in two phases:

• Element451 → Anthology
• Anthology → Element451

Element451 → Anthology testing is usually completed first, while the second, Anthology → Element451 will only happen if a partner has requested syncs to happen that direction (most partners are only Element451 → Anthology).

Both phases should begin after the Applications and Decisions modules have been configured and test records are available.

Triggering the Integration

During testing, integrations should be triggered manually. Once live, they can be automated.

For instructions, see How to Sync Records (Anthology).

Testing Element → Anthology

Preparation

Create test student records with applications. These should cover a wide range of scenarios used on your campus.

Note: These records should be removed before go-live as they are test records.

Testing

Follow the steps in How to Sync Records (Anthology) to trigger a sync.

Review the Sync Result

After each sync, check the Integration Log:

• If there are errors:
  • Attempt to resolve on your own.
  • If needed, reach out in Basecamp for assistance.
• If the record is successful:
  • Proceed to validate the data in Anthology
