Tour: Explore a Multiple Verbs and Resources Invoke Integration

This example shows the Use Multiple Verbs and Resources Invoke recipe, which demonstrates how to use multiple HTTP verbs and resources configured in the REST Adapter trigger connection of an integration. This recipe is available from the Integration Store.

You can configure a single REST Adapter to include multiple HTTP verbs such as GET, PUT, POST, PATCH, and DELETE. You can also configure the REST Adapter with multiple resources. For this example, a single /emp resource and an /emp/loc subresource are used.

Step 1. View the Integration Design

  1. In the navigation pane, click Design, then Integrations.

    This integration consists of the following:


    EmployeeAPI REST Adapter with six operations from which to select: modifyEmployee, updateEmployee, getEmployee, getEmployeeLocation, deleteEmployee, and addEmployee. Each operation goes to a mapper and a return action.

    • A REST Adapter connection (EmployeeAPI) is configured as a trigger (inbound) connection in the integration. The REST Adapter connection is configured with multiple operations: modifyEmployee (PATCH), updateEmployee (PUT), getEmployee (GET), getEmployeeLocation (GET), deleteEmployee (DELETE), and addEmployee (POST).

    • The REST Adapter is triggered when you specify the URL.
    • Each operation is shown as a different path that branches out from the trigger connection.
    • Each branch has a map and a reply action configured.
    • The tracking configuration for each branch can be viewed by clicking Actions Actions icon, then tracking on each pick action.
