Question 1

User Provisioning with SCIM 2.0

Accepted Answer

The System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) specification is designed to make managing user identities in cloud-based applications and services easier. Its intent is to reduce the cost and complexity of user management operations by providing a common user schema and extension model, as well as binding documents to provide patterns for exchanging this schema using standard protocols.

Manage Team members in Spreadly

SCIM is used by Single Sign-On (SSO) services and identity providers to manage people across a variety of tools, including Spreadly. This SCIM implementation targets version 2.0 of the protocol.

Accessing the SCIM API

The SCIM methods are accessed over HTTP. The base URL for all calls to the SCIM API is https://spreadly.app/api/v1/scim. All SCIM methods are branches of this base URL.

Get a secret token

A Bearer token is required to access the SCIM endpoints. You can get your SCIM secret token from Team > Members .

User attributes

Attributes are the details associated with a user's account. You can view those user attributes when you open up the members list of your team. The following tables map SCIM attributes to the profile fields that Spreadly uses.

| Spreadly User Field | SCIM attribute | Required | | ---- | | Email | userName | ✅ | | Academic Degree | name[honorificPrefix] | ❌ | | First name | name[givenName] | ✅ | | Last name | name[familyName] | ✅ | | Name Suffix | name[honorificSuffix] | ❌

Question 3

Using placeholders in Email Signatures

Accepted Answer

In this article, we’ll show you how to create dynamic and personalized email signatures in Spreadly using placeholders. Our editor supports the Liquid template engine, giving you access to a wide range of placeholders – from user details to dynamic values like date, groups, or your digital business cards.

What are placeholders?

Placeholders are variables that are automatically filled in with the correct information when an email is sent. For example, instead of typing your last name directly, you use {{ user.last_name }} – Spreadly will then automatically replace it for each user.

Supported placeholders & examples

Here’s an overview of the most important placeholders you can use. Just insert them with double curly braces like this: {{ ... }}

Current date & time

{{ now }}

Information about the email itself

{{ email.is_external }}: Whether any recipient is external
{{ email.is_reply }}: Whether this email is a reply
{{ email.is_forwarded }}: Whether the email is forwarding another message

Random values, perfect for A/B testing

{{ random.boolean }}: Randomly returns true or false
{{ random.number }}: Random floating-point number from 0 to 1

Groups the user is part of

{{ groups[].name }}: Name of the group
{{ groups[].external_id }}: External ID of the group
{{ groups[].id }}: Spreadly group ID
