Coupa connector

With the Coupa® connector, you can use a Get Request command to retrieve business spend management data from Coupa as a chain to automate, procure-to-pay, accounts payable, and expense management.

Prerequisites

To enable the connection, the connector uses the Coupa REST API. To set up the connector, you'll need:

• A dedicated Admin user in Coupa for the connector
• An API key created in Coupa
• Your Coupa domain name, such as companyname.coupahost.com

Create a Coupa API key

Before you set up the Coupa connector, add an Admin user for the connector in Coupa, and generate its API key:

1. From Users, create a dedicated Admin user for the connector.
2. From Setup, select Integrations, API Keys, and click Create.
   
3. Enter a unique name and description to help identify the key.
4. Enter the contact name to appear in the integration history for the connector's activity.
5. In Contact Login, enter the connector's Admin username. 
6. In Contact Email, enter an email address to receive notifications about the API key.
7. To have the key expire, enter the date when it should.
8. To limit the connector's access to data in Coupa, select Enable permissions, and select the APIs it can interact with.
9. Click Save, and note the generated key value.

Set up the Coupa connector

Note: To make the connector available for use in your organization's chains, an org security administrator first enables it from Configuration.

1. From Chain Builder, click Connections  compare_arrows, and then Create at the top right.
2. Under BizApp Connection, select Coupa and the default CloudRunner.
   
3. Under Basic Info, enter a unique name and description to help identify the connection.
4. Under Properties, enter the connection's details:
   
   

   Property	Details
   API key	Enter the API key created in Coupa.
   Coupa domain	Enter your Coupa domain, such as companyname.coupahost.com.

   Note: All sensitive credentials are automatically encrypted and stored at Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)-256 encryption.

5. Select the environments to use the connection, and click Save.
6. To test the connection, create and run a chain with the connector's Get Request command, and verify it returns a valid output.

Troubleshooting

If the connection to Coupa fails:

• Ensure the connector's integration user has Admin permissions in Coupa.
• Verify the connector's Coupa API key. If necessary, generate a new key and grant it the appropriate permissions.
• Verify your Coupa domain.
