WebServices: Account creation whit multiple endpoints

[GilbertoOledo14 (Gilberto Oledo)]

Hi all!

I am setting up a WebServices connector, at the moment the aggregation is working correctly, however, I don’t know what is the best way to approach the account creation.
In short, I need to populate an attribute but to get the value I need to query towards another endpoint, for example, the manager:
My endpoint needs the unique id of the manager, however, in ISC I have the “externalID” of the manager, so I need to query the unique id of the manager in another endpoint then place it in the account creation.

What is the best way to solve this use case?

Thanks in advance,
Best regards.

Hi @GilbertoOledo14 ,
can you provide more details on how you are querying the manager uniqueId,
If it is by using the externalID of the manager, pass that ID into the plan then
You can use webservices Before operation Rule to query the Manager unique ID and add into create account API, refer below doc for details on rule.

Before Operation Rule

Hope this helps

Hi!
Yes, sure, let’s suppose that in ISC the externalID of the manager is “ID-001”, then, with the endpoint of my end system:

endpoint/users/ID-001

I get the manager’s data, including the “ID” which let’s suppose it is xyz-xyz-xyz-xyz-xyz and this is the value I have to pass in the account creation.
For example:

“data": {
“name": ‘john’,
“lastname": ‘doe’,
“manager": ”xyz-xyz-xyz-xyz-xyz-xyz”
}

Hi @GilbertoOledo14

Refer to this section (without rule)

Multiple Independent Endpoints

Another way of doing this is by rule as suggested by @rkhade .
Hope this will help

Thanks
