Connect a service

Add a connection so your flows can reach a service such as AFAS Profit: pick the service, fill in its details, save them, then add the Prod credentials.

Steps

Pick the service

Open Connections and click New connection. Connect a service lists every service you can connect; search for yours by name.

Connect a service: a search field above the services, each with its logo and what it is for.

Fill in the form

Click the service and fill in its fields. The line under each says where its value comes from; Where do I find these? beside the form explains each for this service. Name is what you pick in a flow.

The AFAS Profit form with Name, Environment number, AFAS environment, Client ID, Client secret and Use fixed IP address, and Where do I find these? beside it.

Save it

Click Save connection, and again on Prod credentials are added separately the first time. Flowmage saves once the service accepts the details: the connection is listed Active under Test and Missing under Prod.

The Connections list with AFAS Profit Active on Test and Missing on Prod, its menu open: Update Test credentials, Check Test credentials, Rename and Delete.
How it works

A connection keeps one set of credentials for Test and one for Prod, and a run uses its own environment's, so a run on Test never reaches the service with your Prod details. A new connection always starts in Test, even when the switch shows Prod.

Add the Prod credentials

Before a flow that uses it runs on Prod, click Prod at the top of the sidebar. In the connection's ⋯ menu, click Update Prod credentials, fill in the Prod details and click Save connection, then Change them on Change Prod credentials?.

Update Prod credentials for AFAS Profit: the same fields as the Test form, with Test connection and Save connection.

If it did not work

You seeDo this
"Those credentials were refused"The service did not accept them. Copy each value again from the service, and check the fields the message names.
"Could not reach …"The service did not answer. If it lets in only approved IP addresses, switch on Use fixed IP address and add the address the message names at the service. If the service still has to let Flowmage in, Save anyway saves without the check; the list shows Not verified.
"These credentials don't look right — check the fields and try again."A value is too short or not in the service's shape. The message names the field.
"You already have a connection called …"Pick another Name.
"Prod is admin-only"Ask a workspace admin to add the Prod credentials.
