So we need to create a new REST connection. This process is started the same way as any other connector from within the connections part of the designer, except we choose the REST connector type. We can then provide the creation dialog with the following values:
|
Properties |
Description |
|
Connection Name |
|
|
Identifier |
This will be proposed based on the connection name and there is no need to change unless you would like an alternate name |
|
Connection Role |
Trigger |
|
Description |
The description should be: |
With the connection description provided we can complete the remaining configuration of the REST endpoint with the details given in the following table:
|
Properties |
Description |
|
Email Address |
Your e-mail address |
|
Security|Security Policy |
Select Basic Authentication as this is the only option available |

To complete the configuration, click on the Test and then Save button, and finally click on Exit Connection.
