Integrating Lumin Platform & Vald Data
Integrating your Lumin platform with your Vald data allows easier analysis of force tests conducted with the Vald product range.
Requirements
Currently, Lumin supports the following Vald products:
Vald ForceDecks
Vald Hub, which includes:
Vald ForceFrame
Vald NordBord
Vald Dynamo
To link, Vald requires manual authorisation between Vald, Lumin and your team. Contact us via the support widget and we can help start the process. Alternatively you can email Vald directly and link us into the email to begin the integration process. See below for more information.
Receiving Data in Lumin
Once authorised, Lumin will automatically pull Vald data three times per day. The first time Lumin pulls data for your team, it will pull the last 12 months of your historic data. Following that, Lumin will continue pulling any new data, as well as historic data that may have been updated in Vald.
If you wish to pull a larger window of historic data, please contact us via the support widget.
Linking Athletes
The final step is to link Vald athletes with Lumin athletes. Typically, Lumin will link your athletes automatically, if it detects a close match in names between platforms. In cases where Lumin does not find a match, you can manually link athletes via:
In Lumin, go to Admin > Integrations.
Open the relevant Vald integration by clicking Manage.
Review the list of Lumin athletes.
Find any athlete that is not yet linked.
Click the dropdown for that athlete.
Select the matching athlete name from Vald.
Click Save.
Note: If you use both Vald ForceDecks and Vald Hub, set up athlete links in both integrations.
Vald keeps separate athlete lists for ForceDecks and Hub. An athlete linked in one integration is not automatically linked in the other.
What happens next
After you save the link, Lumin starts matching that athlete’s Vald data to their Lumin profile.
This can take 5 to 10 minutes, depending on how much Vald data needs to be linked.
Emailing Vald Directly
