How to set up a Cushon integration

This guide will show you how to set up the integration between RG and Cushon. 

Integration setup

To set up the integration, go to Reward Manager > Integrations, scroll down and click on the Cushon tile.

Click on the ‘Create new Cushon’ button. On the Initial Setup screen, you will see the Cushon Entry Point URL already populated. This URL will be used for testing, as well as for linking to the SmartHub tile or navigation bar item. 

The following fields can be left blank, as they are not required by Cushon:
Relay State
Valid Audiences
Privacy Disclaimer
Encrypted Assertions
Sign Assertion

Metadata and certificate

The metadata or the certificate can be downloaded from the ‘Related Links’ section on the right. This needs to be sent to Cushon.
If they require the metadata as a public URL instead of an XML file, please use the Integration metadata button.

Mapping

The Mapping page will have pre-populated all fields required by Cushon:
ID
employer_id
email
first_name
last_name
payroll_number

The employer_id will be unique for each client and will be provided by Cushon. Please, add the provided employer ID in the 'Value' field. 

Testing

Once the Employer ID is provided, you can proceed to test the connection via the ‘Start Test’ button. You need to be already logged into your benefits platform before doing this.

The test is successful if the user is redirected to the Cushon website. 

Review and Publish

Once Testing is complete, the integration can be published through the ‘Publish’ button on the Review & Publish screen.
