15.6.7 Using Integrators from Actions

Some actions might require an Integrator in order to make a connection to an external system. You
can write or customize JavaScript code that connects to an external system by using the Integrator
and executes methods appropriate for the external system. Because all the connection and other
configuration information is already configured as part of the Integrator, the code only needs to
perform a task on the system with which it integrates.
When writing code that needs to access an Integrator, you must determine how to locate a specific
Integrator. You can locate an Integrator in the following ways:
Look up an Integrator by its name
Look up an Integrator by its ID.
Look up a set of Integrators by their service category
Retrieve a set of Integrators that have a specific property name or value
Retrieve all Integrators and iterate through them to find the required one based on custom logic
After you retrieve the Integrator, you can access the API for the external system to make
programmatic calls to achieve the required integration.
