FMS:Connect Systems

Create a New Data Flow​

  1. To create a new data flow, navigate to the Integrate section, and click the New Data Flow button. Then, select the desired flow type from the list, and click the Create button.

  2. Select the FMS:Connect Systems connector tile from the list of available connectors. Then, select the credential that will be used to connect to the FMS:Connect Systems instance, and click Next; or, create a new FMS:Connect Systems credential for use in this flow.

  3. FMS:Connect Systems sources can be configured to ingest data from any valid FMS:Connect Systems API endpoint. Configuration options available for FMS:Connect Systems sources allow them to be fully customized to suit any use case—including using chained API calls to fetch data from multiple endpoints or sources that require custom authentication headers or request parameters.

First, select the method that will be used for calls to the FMS:Connect Systems API from the Method pulldown menu. The most common methods are:

  • GET: For retrieving data from the API
  • POST: For sending data to the API or triggering actions
  • PUT: For updating existing data
  • PATCH: For partial updates to existing data
  • DELETE: For removing data

API Endpoint URL​

  1. Enter the URL of the FMS:Connect Systems API endpoint from which this source will fetch data in the Set API URL field. This should be the complete URL including the protocol (https://) and any required path parameters. FMS:Connect Systems API endpoints typically follow the pattern https://{hostname}.fmshosted.com/{environment}/{endpoint_path} where {hostname} is your Hostname from the credential configuration and {environment} is your Environment from the credential configuration.

Ensure the API endpoint URL is correct and accessible with your current credentials. You can test the endpoint using the Test button after configuring the URL. The endpoint requires Bearer Token authentication via the Authorization: Bearer {token} header, which is handled automatically by your credential configuration. The bearer token is obtained using your Client ID and Client Secret. For detailed information about FMS:Connect Systems API endpoints and available APIs, see the FMS:Connect Systems documentation.
