Add Services to a Feature

After adding a feature, you can add services to the feature to handle the input and output of data between App Xchange and other applications.

Identify the connectors for your integration before adding a service to a feature. There will be services available in the list that are not related to your connector. As a flow author, you must understand these connectors and the data mapping between systems. To learn about the connectors associated with your integration, view the OpenAPI documentation for the different modules.

For more information, see Services.

1. Open the feature you want to add a service to.

2. In the Service Configurations section, select Add Service.

3. Choose to add either a New or Existing service.

   • 1. • New: A service associated with the connectors on the integration and independent of any other services already added.

        • Existing: A service that has already been added to an integration, likely on a different feature. When possible, add existing services, as you don’t want to define two different services that process the same data.

4. Fill in the following fields:

For a New service:

• Service: Choose a service from the dropdown list. These services populate based on the connectors added to the integration. Services are named as follows: ConnectorName/Module/ServiceType.
  Note: You would only add a Cache Writer service to a feature—Action Processors are added automatically within a workspace when a flow is run that creates an action. 

• Description: Enter information about the service, such as the kind of data being cache written. 

For an Existing service:

• Service: Choose a service from the dropdown list. This list is limited to the services that already exist in features added to your integration.

5. Select Save.

6. Open the service to configure it.

The Edit Service Configuration window opens. In the top section, you can edit the following fields:

• Edit the service Description, if needed.

• Make the service into a Template. This allows different customers across workspaces to reuse the service but customize it to fit the needs of their specific integrations. 

Beneath these fields, there are a variety of data objects listed. These data objects are specific to the service you chose (and the service is based on the connector).

• Toggle on the data type you want to add to the service.
  Important: Only enable one data type per service.

• Select Save.

7. Add another service if you need to add another data type. 

Important: Do not add the same service to a feature more than once. 

8. To remove a service from a feature, select the Delete icon to the right of the service in the Service Configurations section of the Features page.

The service is added to the integration feature. Next, you can add a flow to the feature. For more details, see Add Flows.
