ION API Call Name - Blank

Nicolas Del rio

Hello,

I have a ION API Connector with a ION API Call Name of type Send to API.
I tested it using the TEST button and indicating the XML Bod to see if it creates the body correctly, it works, it inserts Bod data into a .json and contacts the endpoint.

The strange thing is that when trying to use said Connection Point in a Document Flow, the ION API Call Name field is empty:

The settings I'm using are the following:

I'm sure I'm missing something, Is there any data that determines whether or not to use an ION Api Call Name in a Flow?

Thanks,

Regards.

Nicolas,

I'm not 100% sure why this is the way it is, you will only see your call name in that dropdown if it's scenario is set to "Trigger API".   Since yours is set to "Send to API" it doesn't show there.   If you feed a document to an API connection point with multiple "Send to API" calls specified, any that are using that particular document will fire.   If you have multiple calls specified, and want to call that specific one, try changing it to "Trigger API", then you can specify the call.  Note, this will also return a document back to the flow, that you then will need to handle in the flow.  For example, you would use this in a scenario where you want to feed a BOD to the API then modify the BOD based on the values from the API, and return the BOD back to the data flow.   The "Send to API" might be used in a scenario where you're doing something like submitting a print job to IDM at the end of a flow but not expecting a BOD back to handle.
