Connectivity: SOAP
Last updated
Last updated
SOAP connectivity can be used with web services that use SOAP APIs.
If the system already has an API, the platform can use it directly, adding rate limit and security controls, which makes it easier to integrate with other platforms. When you use SOAP, the platform works with the XML format, allowing the POST method, which is the only HTTP request method accepted by the SOAP protocol.
All accounts created using this type of connectivity will use the endpoint of a SOAP API, with the data normally being provided via a file in WSDL format, an XML format that describes how to call a web service. If the API you are using does not have a WSDL file, you will need to create the requests manually, without using an application such as SOAP UI.
Once you have added at least one operation to your module, you will no longer be able to change the selected Connectivity Type, and you will first have to delete all the operations you have created.
In the case of the SOAP connectivity type, no authentication is required.
To add a connected account, click on "Connected account" and then "Add connected account".
The following modal will then appear:
Fill in the details:
Terminal (optional): if you have a terminal set up, select it so that the connection is made through the corresponding "Agent";
Account name: name of the registered account;
Host: IP of the database host;
Port: port number
After filling in the details, click on "Create account".
That's it! Your connected account has been created and can be used by other modules and flows, appearing among the configured account options in both cases.
Finally, click on "Save changes" to configure your module settings.
Important: Once you have saved your changes, you will no longer be able to change the Connectivity type.
