Connections and Actions

This documentation describes connections and actions.

  • Connections - Connections define a set of parameters to connect to an external resource by means of an adapter. Depending on the resource, such parameters can include credentials. URLs, hostnames or other properties that pertain to extablising a connection. After the connection is defined, it can be referenced in inputs or outputs in maps, or from source, target, or request nodes within a flow.
  • Actions - After a connection is defined, actions can be defined that can use the connection. An action defines an operation against a resource, such as reading from a specific file, calling an API, or writing data to a table. After an action is defined, it can be referenced in inputs or output in maps, or from source, target or request nodes within a flow.
