Overview

In addition to the standard objects provided within Unify be default, you can define custom objects for additional data sources or integrations you want to connect to Unify. Objects can also be linked to each other using reference attributes. There are no limitations on the number of objects or attributes you can create. We recommended creating separate objects for each data source or integration. This keeps data organized and makes it easier to see where specific values originated from.

Create an object

Creating objects can also be done via the API, which may be convenient for developers who prefer to programmatically define many objects at a time.
1

Open the object settings page

Navigate to Settings -> Objects and select Add new object.
2

Provide object details

Fill in the display name and the API name for the object. The display name is a friendly name for the object that will appear within Unify. The API name is a unique identifier that will be used by developers when using the API.For example, an object’s display name might be “Product User” and its API name might be product_user. A suitable API name will be generated automatically, and typically there is no need to change it.
3

Save the object

Select Add object to save the object. You will see a new page where all of the object’s attributes are listed. When you first create an object, it will have no attributes.
Next, read Define Attributes to create attributes for this object.
