Integration

This is what defines the connection between a Process and the single system it's connecting with. It is also where most of the configuration and settings are stored.

New Integration

Back in the Unifi Integration Designer window, after clicking either on the '+' tile or 'New Integration', you are given a 'New Integration' modal to complete.

The fields to be configured for the New Integration modal are as follows:

#	Field	Description	Value
1	Name	The name of the integration.	<Your Name>
*	Service type	The type of web service this integration is using (Choices: SOAP/REST).	'REST'
*	Message format	Automatically pre-process incoming messages for simpler message scripting. (Choices: XML, JSON, Advanced)	'JSON'

*Service type/Message format: these values are defaulted.

Your 'New Integration' modal should look like this:

2) Click Create.

You will be redirected to the Details page of the newly created Integration.

Unifi needs to identify the name of the inbound message in order to know how to process the inbound data.

function identify(payload) {

  return (payload.message.name || '') + '';

}
