REST Call Actions

Using REST call actions within processes, you can make REST API calls automatically or on an event-driven basis.

Depending on which endpoints the corresponding REST API provides, you can complete complex "tasks" almost automatically or "at the push of a button."

Examples

You can define a click on a button in your portal as an event. The triggered process then sends a REST API call to retrieve the current exchange rates and uses those rates for invoicing.

You can define input or selection fields in your portal whose values are used as parameters for the REST API call. If you select "Berlin" from the drop-down menu, the holidays for the state of Berlin will be retrieved automatically.

You can also use a REST call action to perform administrative tasks related to Intrexx by sending REST calls to the Intrexx Administration API. For example, you can develop applications on a development portal and then import them into your production portal with the click of a button.

The possibilities for using REST call actions are diverse and virtually unlimited. In addition, the configuration of REST call actions can be done dynamically. You can use as many placeholders as you like, whose values can be determined from various sources (resources) at the time the REST call is executed.
