About Service Connection
In FlowOn logic, view the service connection as your bridge to any third-party or external application programming interface (API). All you need to provide are a few essentials: the target project, the name for the service connection, and the required configurations. Once set, the system seamlessly integrates this connection, enabling you to incorporate it effortlessly as a step into your next flows.
Service Connection General Properties
When setting up a Service Connection in FlowOn logic, certain details are pivotal for its configuration and functionality. These properties provide essential information about the connection, ensuring it operates seamlessly:
| Property | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Project | Yes | The project to which the service connection belongs. |
| Name | Yes | The name for the service connection. |
| Description | No | A brief description of the service connection. |
| Type | Yes | The type of service connection (Currently only supports "REST API's"). |
Service Connection Types
In FlowOn Logic, Service Connections play a crucial role in connecting and integrating with external services. Currently, FlowOn Logic primarily supports the "REST" type of service connection. However, our aim is to expand support to various other service connection types in the future, offering even more versatility in integration capabilities.
REST Service Connection Configuration Properties
Service connections require specific configurations to ensure seamless integration with external RESTful services. Here's a breakdown of the essential configuration properties for a REST Service Connection:
| Property | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| URL | Yes | The endpoint URL of the service or API. |
| OpenAPI Specification | Yes | The specification detailing the API's structure. |
| Security Schemes | No | Defines how the API should be accessed securely. Each scheme has a unique name and type. |
