Web Service Connections
Define Web Service Connections and build workflows that make custom HTTP web requests to the defined web service.
Create web service connection definitions from within Integrations.
Creating a Web Service Connection
- Within Process Automation, in Integrations, select Web Service Connections and click New.
- Under Information, type a name for the connection. This name will be used to reference the connection when creating a rule.
- Optional: Type a description to help you remember details about the data source.
- Choose how Laserfiche Cloud will communicate with the web service:
- Send requests directly: Select this option if the web service is publicly available over the Internet.
- Send requests through remote agent: Specify the remote agent that will connect to the web service. The remote agent must contain a queue with the remote web service plugin.
- Under Authentication, specify the type of authentication to use:
- No Authentication: No authentication credentials are required for the Web Service Connection.
- Basic Authentication: A username and password are required for the Web Service Connection.
- OAuth 2.0 Authentication: Allows customers to configure access token request for client credentials and resource user password credentials grants with custom headers and body fields.
The Load default fields for the selected grant type button
can be used to automatically pull data into the Token Request Body Fields based on the grant type. 
The lock icon
can be used to save header and body password values as a secret. Once saved as a secret, these values cannot be made visible again.
Note: If Send requests through remote agent is selected in the Information step, OAuth2 will not be an available authentication option.
- Under Base URL & Headers, specify the base URL and headers to the web service.
- Under Test Connection, click Test to test the connection between process automation and the web service. The HTTP response status of the test will be shown.
- Click Create.
