Automate

Hello,

We are developing a form in Evolve where we would like to retrieve the users Company Code / User Location from the user directory.  We have access in Postman to an API that uses a bearer token.  Ideally, we would like to connect this to Evolve and run the API on the form load.  So two questions:

1) Has anyone connected a REST API that uses a bearer token? (maybe specific to MS Graph / Azure)
2) Is there a way to use the current authentication setup that uses SAML to get more user details?

We are running Evolve 24.0 for reference.  Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Jamie

Typically there are two calls - one to get the token and one to make the actual call.  With REST APIs if both calls can use Header keys or a JSON body, then we can support both, i.e. make the one API call to get the token and then make the other call passing in the Token - often as a header key.

We have some specific connection types in Evolve that take care of the bearer token behind the scenes with Precisely address validation and Salesforce, but it's specific to those systems/services.

On the roadmap is OAuth Connection support, which will open other other types of connection types.

On the side, is this something you can Query out of SAP from HR data?  Or can the source of this information be stored in another source we can connect to, like a backend DB from the source system?  Just a thought as a workaround until we support what you need.

FYI
