Wufoo policy

A Wufoo policy contains the connection details that are used by a Wufoo Input or Wufoo Request node when you connect it to Wufoo.

You can use a Wufoo Request node in a message flow to connect IBM® App Connect Enterprise to Wufoo and issue requests to perform actions on objects such as forms, form entries, reports, and users. You can use a Wufoo Input node to monitor and accept input from Wufoo. The Wufoo policy controls, at run time, access to the Wufoo application.

The Wufoo policy is created when you configure a connection between a Wufoo Input or Wufoo Request node and Wufoo by using the Connector Discovery wizard. During the process of discovery, account credentials are stored in the vault and connection details are stored in a policy. The policy is created with a type of Wufoo, and the name of the policy is returned to the node and specified in the Connection tab, in the format {policyProjectName}:policyName.

You can also create, update, or delete a Wufoo policy by using the Manage Discovery Connector Policies and Credentials wizard, which you can access by right-clicking the policy project in the IBM App Connect Enterprise Toolkit and then clicking New > Discovery Connector policies and credentials.

You must deploy this policy before message flows that use the policy are started. If you redeploy a Wufoo policy, all message flows that are using the policy are stopped and restarted.
