Parameter syntax for Universal Connectors

Follow these parameter syntax guidelines when building Universal Connector modules:

• Parameter references in API requests, such as {param1}, are treated as configurable parameters with the actual value assigned at runtime.

• Parameters can be used in URLs, headers, query parameters, and in the message body for POST/PUT requests.

• There is no limit on how many parameters you can use.

• You determine where each parameter's actual value come from.

Parameter values

Universal Connectors use settings that either the user supplies or originate from data in flow messages to build API calls. You can use the following options to specify parameter values for Universal Connectors.

User setting

This option specifies that the user supplies the parameter value in the module interface. Default values may be used.

Note: UC module user settings cannot be left blank in Flow Studio.

Message parameter

This option takes the parameter value from an incoming flow message. The property on the message must have the same name as the parameter and be located at the message root.

User setting if set

This option specifies that the user supplies the parameter value in the user interface. If no value is entered, it is taken from the incoming message.
