Flows & Handlers

"Flows" are a set of statements, written like pseudocode using simplified language, for implementing integrations.

"Flows" are a set of statements like pseudocode, written using simplified language, for implementing integrations.

Introduction to Flows

Flows act as a neural schema for system integration, carrying out the whole integration process end to end. The flow is responsible for handling business logic, making API calls to the targeted system, formatting and validating data, logging transactions and so on.

Flows are created by developing a logical program sequence using lines of code-representation known as Handlers. Handlers form the backbone of every Flow.

  1. The list of Pipes associated with a Flow are displayed below the Flow Status Area.

What are Handlers?

Handlers are statements used to build a flow, in the form of code-representation by following an algorithmic approach. Every handler has its functional logic and requires a certain set of parameters to be defined to carry out its activities. Multiple Handlers are available to the user to build their flow.

Some example functionalities that Handlers can perform include

  • ↗️ Making API calls to any system

  • Assigning data to variables

  • 🔀 Mapping of the API fields

  • 🗒️ Display log messages

  • Sending data to the destination system in the required format

  • 📩 Sending emails and so on

The same handler can be used N number of times in a Flow.

How to use Handlers?

Simply drag and drop Handlers to the ‘Play Area’ to include them in your Flow. Once it is positioned in the coding area, its parameters need to be assigned. These parameters are different for each handler and are discussed in detail below.

Handlers can also be copied, moved, and commented on within the Play Area and can also be deleted when they are no longer needed.

Selecting Multiple Handlers

Multiple Handlers can be selected by selecting the checkbox alongside each handler statement. Once the handlers are selected, user may Cut/Copy/Delete/Comment the statements as needed.

Available Handlers

API Calls

Triggers an API Call in which you can pass parameters and payload to any system. The API responses will be stored in a defined variable which is available for further usage in the Flow.

While clicking on the API dropdown list, a differentiator to identify global and custom APIs will be seen. See image below:

It is recommended to use the If, Else handlers after the API call handler, to ensure the validity of the API response.

Parameters

Definition

Type

Systems

Platform to send and receive responses

DropDown

API

API endpoints of the selected system. Depending on the Platform chosen, the list of API’s in the dropdown changes.

DropDown

Response Variable

Stores API response

Example: customer_info, create_customer_data, etc

Variable

Payload

Request Body. Information sent along with the API call

Variable (defined), JSON, Array

Files

Upload one or many files contents. Example: [

('file', ('foo.csv', "hello,there,csv,data")), ('file', ('bar.txt', "this is a file content"))

]

Variable (defined), JSON, Array

Headers

Request Headers

Example:

{"Accept": "application/json"}

Variable (defined), JSON

URL Arguments

Arguments used in a dynamic URL.

API URL: /api/customer/{customer_id}/fetch

URL Argument: {"customer_id":"2"}

Formatted URL: /api/customer/2/fetch

In this case, customer_id is replaced with the number 2.

Variable (defined), JSON

Parameters

Request parameters

API URL: api/customer/get/?format={format}

Query Params: {"format":"json"}

Formatted URL: api/customer/get/?format=json

Here, format = json will be the query parameters.

Variable (defined), JSON

Override time

To override the timeout at Flow level. Read more below.

For XML Payload (Examples)

Plain request

{'plain_request': {'key1':'value1','key2':'value2'}}

Not a plain request

{'body':{'key1':'value1','key2':'value2'}}

Use keywords(DYNAMIC_TOKEN, GET_FROM_CREDENTIALS) to fetch and pass the respective dynamic information in headers and payload.

  • DCKAP Integrator accepts API responses in JSON, CSV and Text formats.

  • API Call Handler also has the facility to add headers from Flows.

To add additional envelope namespace

Along with the above request, add another key “envelope_namespace” to add additional namespace with default namespace

XML Request Body

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:urn="urn:enterprise.soap.sforce.com">
   <soapenv:Header>
   </soapenv:Header>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <urn:login>
         <urn:username>user1@ddckap.com</urn:username>
         <urn:password>user1@123</urn:password>
      </urn:login>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

Converted JSON request Body

{
    "envelope_namespace": "xmlns:urn='urn:enterprise.soap.sforce.com'",
    "body": {
        "urn:login": {
            "urn:username": "user1@ddckap.com", 
            "urn:password": "user1@123"
        }
    }
}

To override the API manager timeout at the Flow level.

Choose: Yes/No from the drop-down list Yes - Override the timeout based on read and connect values mentioned here No - Do not override the timeout based on read and connect values mentioned here

"Connect" refers to the maximum allowed time for DCKAP Integrator to establish communication with the system to which the API call is made.

"Read" refers to the maximum allowed time for the system to respond back to DCKAP Integrator.

To learn more, find the use cases below

String

Use Case 1 - Dictionary(Action: Assign)

Modify variable customer_info['customer_id'] with value custom_attribute['value']
  • Assume the variable customer_info is a dictionary/JSON and contains the value {“entity_id”:12, “name”: “Alice Blue”}

  • To add more keys with values to the dictionary, the modifier handler is used

  • The below step adds customer_id to the dictionary

  • After processing, the customer_info variable contains the value {“entity_id”:12, “name”: “Alice Blue”, “customer_id”: custom_attribute[‘value’]}

Use Case 2 - Array(Action: Append)

Modify variable customer_info['customer_id'] with value custom_attribute['value']
  • Assume the variable customer_info is an array/list and contains the value [{“entity_id: 1}, {“entity_id: 2}, {“entity_id: 3}]

  • To add an item to the array, the Modify Variable handler is used

  • The below step adds customer_id to the Array

  • After processing, the customer_info variable contains the value [{“entity_id: 1}, {“entity_id: 2}, {“entity_id: 3}, {"custom_attribute['value']}]

Mapping

Provides the ability to get mappings from the user and format data between two different system APIs.

This adds a new mapping card in the pipes section to get mappings in the pipe. The Modifiers will also be provided in the same section.

Based on the Mapping configuration, the destination payload will be prepared from the source data.

Available Options

Parameters

Definition

Type

Display name

Mapping name displayed in the pipe

Alphanumeric

Source

API used to request data from the Source system

DropDown

Destination

API used to send data to the Destination system

DropDown

Variable

Stores mapped data

Variable

Source Data

Source data that will be formatted and sent to destination API as per the mapping configuration

JSON, Array

Ignore Keys

Keys that should be ignored by the system, while processing data in the mapping structure defined by the user.

For more information, click here.

Alphanumeric

Example

Prepare mapping with name Customers Information from source Get Customers- Magento 2
to destination Create Customers - Epicor P21 Custom Server

Creates a mapping node in the pipe to provide the mapping of data between the specified source and destination APIs.

Use Case - Ignore Keys

{
  "customer": [
    {
      "name":"alice",
      "address": {
        "street": "Jarvis St.",
        "door_number": "5A"
      }
    },
    {
      "name":"bob",
      "address": {
        "street": "Marvel St.",
        "door_number": "7D"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Assume the field street is mapped from source to destination system and the path generated for this field will be customer/address/street.

During Mapping, when the user sends this customer data(Parameter: Data) inside a loop, one entry at a time, to get the street address, the resulting path generated will be address/street.

In this case, the user should mention the parent keys to be ignored. In this case customer. If multiple keys need to be ignored, then the user should mention them as comma-separated values.

When an API or system is changed in the Flow, then the previously configured mapping becomes unstable.

So users will be alerted if the mapping should be retained or if it should be deleted during the save and merge process.

If the mapping is retained, the errors will be highlighted.

If, Else If & Else
