Connector

The Connector activity provides access to Integration Service connectors and custom-built connectors. It helps your workflow interact with third-party APIs without a manual HTTP request configuration.

However, each connector includes a dedicated HTTP Request activity. This activity leverages existing connections for authentication, enabling interaction with any API endpoint beyond those covered by the connector prebuilt activities.

Using the Connector activity

To add a Connector activity to your workflow:
  1. On your API workflow designer canvas, select the plus (+) icon. The Add activity menu appears.
  2. Select Connector. A pop-up window opens, showing all available connectors.
  3. Select the desired connector type. The list of all available activities for the selected connector is displayed.
  4. Select the activity you need.
  5. In the Properties panel, configure the connection for the selected activity. If no connections are available, select + Connection and follow the wizard instructions.
  6. Configure the activity to your needs.
  7. Test the workflow to execute the activity and generate output fields for later use.

Connector activity example

The following example uses the Salesforce connector and the List All Records activity to retrieve a specific user based on their email address.

Adjust the run configuration to match the data in your Salesforce environment. If you do not have access to a Salesforce environment, sign up for a free account and follow the authentication setup instructions provided in our documentation.

Open the Test configuration window, then paste and save the following JSON syntax:

{
  "email_address": "{insert_your_email_here}"
}{
  "email_address": "{insert_your_email_here}"
}
  1. Once you establish the connection to the Salesforce connector, select the List All Records activity.
  2. With the List All Records activity selected, go to the Properties panel, and for the Select object field, select Users.
  3. For the Where field, use the Expression editor to define the following search query:
    "email = '" + $workflow.input.email_address + "'""email = '" + $workflow.input.email_address + "'"
  4. Test your activity.
