This manual explains the details of how the ZeroDrop (ZD) Connector works and how ZD uses the connector to obtain necessary data from PlayFab.

I. PlayFab - ZeroDrop Connector

The purpose of the connector is to establish the data stream from your PlayFab database (PlayFab Insights) to ZD’s data lake. The connector enables us to obtain more data insights and details. The combination of PlayFab data stream and our advanced analytical tools enhances your ability to explore more business potentials. The connector follows PlayFab protocol to utilize the Azure authentication mechanism which ensures the data security between each party. Please see below for the workflow.

During the workflow, ZD takes a good care of the most part. There is one step that you are required to follow in order to completely set up the connector.

II. What to Do?

The only step that you need to do to complete the set up is to execute a snippet code in your PlayFab Insights. Please execute the below code in the PlayFab Insights.

Note 1: please replace the highlighted part with associated information. We would provide clientID and tenantID to you. In terms of titleID, you could find it in “Settings” -> “Title Settings” -> “API Features” -> “Title ID”.

Note 2: this snippet code automatically assigns Admin role to the connector once execute. If you are not willing to grant admin access to the connector, you could follow PlayFab guideline to set up a custom role for the connector. However, please ensure that the following three permissions are granted:

  • Explorer data & tab
  • Analytics data read access
  • Analytics data write access
