Create a REST Endpoint Connection

The REST endpoint connector is used to create different REST endpoints to the Hero Platform_ application.

Create a Connection to REST Endpoints in Hero Platform_

1. Open Hero Platform_.
2. Open Integration from the navigation menu and select Connections.
   
3. Click Create New Connection.
   
   
4. Give the Connection a name and select REST Endpoint from the drop-down list for Connection type.
   
   
5. The REST Endpoint Connection details screen pops up with fields that need to be configured.
   
   • Enter the endpoint url path to create the endpoint.
   • Enter a timeout value in seconds.
     • Request timeouts of over 10 seconds indicate that the Flow may need to be restructured.
     • Hero Platform_ recommends avoiding the use of heavy operations (e.g., containerized functions) inside a Flow with a REST endpoint.
   
   
6. Click Test connection. A confirmation message is displayed if the connection has been established in Hero Platform_. 
   
7. Click OK to finish saving the Connection in Hero Platform_.
