HTTP Connected System

Overview

HTTP connected systems allow you to connect to various third-party systems easily by sharing base URL and authentication details across multiple integrations. You can also upload a logo image to visually identify the system.

This page provides details about HTTP connected system properties. For information that pertains to all connected systems, see Connected System Object.

If the system you are connecting to uses OpenAPI, you can use an OpenAPI Connected System instead.

If you unable to connect to a connected system using an HTTP connected system, you have several options:

• Check out the pre-built connected systems that connect to popular third-party systems.
  • Some of these are included with Appian. See the options available under CONNECTED SYSTEM TYPES in the topics to the left.
  • You can also download pre-built connected system plug-ins from the App Market.
• Java developers can build custom connected system plug-ins using the SDK.
