Integrations and Connectors
AgilePoint NX integrates in these ways with Microsoft Azure Blob Storage:
- Activities in Process Builder
- Document repository for process-based apps
- Document repository for eForms
- Access tokens
Activities in Process Builder
You can use out-of-the-box activities for Microsoft Azure Blob Storage to execute actions in process-based apps.
An activity is a functional unit, or task, in a process-based app. Activities that integrate with a third-party system provide access to the API functionality for that system in a simple, point-and-click, form-entry format. This means that you can easily leverage APIs without writing code.
The following activities are available for MS Azure Blob Storage:
- Create Container
- Delete Blob
- Delete Container
- Get Blob Information
- Get Blob Metadata
- Get Container Information
- Get Container Metadata
- Set Blob Metadata
- Set Container Metadata
For more information, refer to the process activities for MS Azure Blob Storage in Process Builder.
Document Repository for Process-Based Apps
MS Azure Blob Storage can be as a document repository in a process-based app. There are many activities that let you upload and download files from various third-party repositories.
For more information, refer to Document Repositories.
Document Repository for eForms
MS Azure Blob Storage can be as a document repository to upload and download files in eForms. In an eForm or form-based app, file transfer is handled with the File Upload form control.
For more information, refer to Document Repositories.
Access Tokens
You can create access tokens for Microsoft Azure Cloud Services.
An access token is a secure object that stores an endpoint (usually a URL) and authentication credentials to connect to a service or technology. Often this is an external or third-party service, like Salesforce or SharePoint, but access tokens can also connect to an AgilePoint NX enviornment, local database, or other types of technologies. Once an access token is created, app designers can simply select and reuse it, rather than entering the credentials each time they are needed.
For more information, refer to Access Token for Microsoft Azure Cloud Services.
