Make Connection work in both directions

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 293

I have two accounts (A and B) which are competitors in the same market. I want to connect the accounts with each other using a Connection and the Connection Role 'Competitor'.

When I connect A to B using connection role Competitor I see the Role (To) in A, but in B it's empty. How to make a connection bidirectional, such that selecting a role allows you to populate it on both sides. Unfortunately, I cannot use Matchgin Connection Roles with the same Role (e.g. I cannot add Competitor to Competitor as match connection role)

I understand that connections are not always bidiretional (as in Parent and Child), but Competitor definitely is a bidirectional connection.

I have the same question (0)

    Hi Kiril,

    Have you added matching Connection Role in the ‘Competitor’ connection role, if not, you need add same role under it.

    Go Settings > Business Management > Connection Roles.

    Find ‘Competitor’ and open it.

    This works, thank you! I tried to add the Matching Connection Role using the Unified Client Interface, and I could not select the same role as in Competitor.

    Thank you.
