Recurly

Sync your Recurly customers and their revenue data to Vitally in real time with our Recurly integration

Overview
Vitally's Recurly integration can be used to sync the following Recurly data into Vitally in real time:
Customers - Vitally can import your Recurly customers into Vitally as accounts. When done, we'll add a wealth of new Recurly-defined traits to your Vitally profiles, such as the expiration of the customer's credit card, the plans they are subscribed to, and much more!
Revenue data - Vitally also imports your historical paid invoices from Recurly so that you have immediate, accurate insight into the purchase history of every account in Vitally.
Enabling the Recurly integration
To enable the Recurly integration, navigate to Integrations -> Recurly in your Account Settings (get there via Quick Jump). Once you click the switch in the top right, you'll be asked for a Recurly API key:
Creating your Recurly API Key
For Vitally to be able to access your Recurly data, you will need to provision a Read-Only API key for Vitally. To do so, in your Recurly account, navigate to Integrations -> API Credentials. 
Create a new API key and select the Read-Only option. Specify the key name and the application using the key to Vitally.
Finally, copy your new API key into the Vitally integration form and click submit.
Configure the integration
Once you enter your API key, you'll be prompted to select the production subdomain associated with this key. Once you select the subdomain, configure the account name and ID fields to ensure Vitally correctly imports & syncs your Recurly data. 
Selecting the right Customer ID field is critical! You must attach the same ID to customers in both Recurly and your analytics data system (e.g. Segment, Mixpanel). Without this, we have no way of matching customers from Recurly to the existing customers we created from your analytics data (and vice versa). 
If you are already tracking customer IDs in Recurly, simply select the appropriate trait here and click Update Recurly Configuration. At this point, we'll import your existing Recurly customers and revenue data, and will continue to sync that data as it changes moving forward.
Create a Recurly Webhook to sync changes in real-time
Vitally's Recurly integration requires setting up a webhook in Recurly to notify us of any relevant changes. Follow the instructions in Vitally to setup a new Webhook in Recurly.
Please select Format -> XML in Recurly for the Vitally webhook.
Details about the Recurly integration
The Recurly integration works by initially importing all your existing accounts and subscriptions, as well as their past paid invoices.
Moving forward, we then listen for customer, subscription, and invoice changes using Recurly's webhooks. If aan account or subscription is created, updated, or deleted in Recurly, we will handle that appropriately by creating, updating, or deleting (churning) the customer in Vitally. Additionally, if a Recurly invoice is paid, we will update the customer's MRR and renewal dates in Vitally.
Once you enable the Recurly integration, we will automatically adjust your revenue and churn tracking configuration to sync with Recurly. This means we will override any past configuration you had. If you'd rather that not happen, please reconfigure each after the integration is enabled. Note that if you have an existing trial tracking configuration, we will not override it. We do this because many teams choose to track trials internally, outside of Recurly.
All Recurly data is also attached to your Vitally customers as traits, giving you the ability to leverage that data in reports and Indicators.
