Chaining Integrations Together

A practice that you may want/need to consider is calling an API to return initial data for your app, and then turning around and using that data as input/s to pull additional data.

To accomplish this, start by creating an initial integration. The below example pulls a list of courses from our Curriculum Management system.

Be sure to capture the data that you will need for your next integration via the main form field (id & label) or an Output/s. In this example, the data that will be used in the next integration is the Subject Code Id.

Add the initial integration to your app’s form. Notice that we have also added the configured output which our next integration will consume.

Create your next integration. This integration will need an input in order for it to run.

In the example above, we added a URL input to the integration URL by wrapping the parameter name in double curly brackets - {{option}}

After adding the URL input, give the new parameter a label in the URL inputs section of the integration form. Run a test on the new integration and supply a valid value to the input in order to see a successful result.

Lastly, add the second integration to your form. Set the value for the Required information for Lookup to pull from the output of your first integration. Repeat with as many integrations as needed.
