HTTP integration scripting 编辑

HTTP integration scripting allows you to programmatically script some of your HTTP integration features:

• Data loading - your script can define one or more synchronization functions that fetch data from a System of Record (SoR), transform it and store it in the cache.

• Service actions - your script can define one or more functions that write data to the SoR, fetch information about a created or updated record and store it in the cache.

• Webhooks - your script can define one or more functions that react to data configured and pushed by your application system of record.

Each script defines multiple synchronizations and action functions. HTTP integration then invokes these functions during synchronization execution or when your microapp user invokes an action.

Additional detailed developer resources regarding microapp scripting can be found at the Citrix Developer Portal.

Before you begin

Using the scripting functionality infers that you are familiar with your target application SoR. Use scripting when all other integration methods have been exhausted in configuring your integration.

When using scripting for HTTP integrations you must follow this general process:

• Ready your script that you want to import via the Microapp administration interface.
• Scripts must be written in the javascript language edited in your preferred text editor / development tool.
• When ready, import the script via the integrations tab in the Microapps admin interface or optionally you can enter your script directly into the text editor provided in the scripting feature.
• When imported, test the script.

Import a script

To import your prepared script via the integrations tab in the Microapps admin interface. Follow these steps:

1. Select Scripting.

   

2. Select Upload script. Alternatively, you can input your script directly into the text area by selecting Edit.

   

   A blade opens.

3. Drag your script onto the import pop-up.

4. The script is parsed and validated.

   

5. Select import.
6. Your script is imported.

Note:

You can now edit the script directly in the Scripting text editor or update the script by importing the script file again.

• You can view the scripted synchronization as data endpoints in the Data loading, Service actions, and Webhook screens.

• You can view the table defined by the script in the tables page.

  

• You can view the script output in the log.
• You can see the requests made by the script in the sync log.

To view and monitor your script as it runs go to the logs screen.

FAQ

Authentication - Scripting uses the same client as configured for your System of Record (SoR) integration therefore matches all the same authentication defined in your HTTP integration.

All configuration settings as configured in Data loading and Service actions for your target SoR are propagated into the scripts.

Scripts, once loaded, are included in microapps import / export (so can be imported exported to the bundle repository).

Custom Integration Parameters

Scripting also supports custom integration parameters for when configuring your HTTP integrations. For example, your integration uses specific application IDs to reference a specific application in a user workspace. This ID is specific to the user and must be set for each integration.

Custom parameter or secrets are defined by Configuration Parameter definition, consisting of:

• name (String, no spaces, no special characters)
• label (String)
• description (String)
• type (String, same as column type)
• default value (populated during import)
• required (boolean)
• secret (boolean) (secrets are never recorded in the Microapps cache or logs).
