Supported components for flows

Use this information as a reference to help you identify which connectors and toolbox utilities are supported when authoring event-driven and API flows in App Connect Designer.

Connectors enable you to establish connections to IBM® and third-party applications and APIs, and run events, actions, or API operations that are configured in your flows. Toolbox utilities enable you to apply specialized processing to the behavior of your flows.

PushTopic considerations for Salesforce:

When you create an event-driven flow that uses a Salesforce event node and then start the flow in App Connect Designer, a PushTopic is automatically created in your Salesforce instance to aid with event notifications. When you stop the flow, this PushTopic is automatically deleted.

In the App Connect Dashboard, when you create an integration server or integration runtime by using an exported event-driven flow with a Salesforce event node, a PushTopic is also automatically created in your Salesforce instance to aid with event notifications. However, this PushTopic isn't automatically deleted and remains in your instance even after the integration server or integration runtime is deleted. Therefore, you need to manually delete these PushTopics from your Salesforce instance and you might need to work with your administrator to do so.

For information about using these connectors, see How-to guides for apps.

Custom connectors

You can add custom connectors to the App Connect catalog by importing any of these artifacts:
  • OpenAPI documents
  • Published APIs from IBM API Connect
  • SOAP web services
  • Community connectors

After you import any of these connector types into the catalog, you can use the connector in the same way as the IBM-developed connectors.

Imported APIs or web services

When you import an OpenAPI document, an IBM API Connect API, or a SOAP web service into the Catalog page in App Connect Designer, you obtain an imported API or web service.

For information about importing and connecting to APIs or web services, see:

Community connectors

Community connectors are developed by App Connect users and are shared as assets in IBM Automation Explorer. You can download a community connector from IBM Automation Explorer and then import that connector into the Catalog page in App Connect Designer.

For information about creating, accessing, downloading, or importing community connectors, see Working with community connectors.
