Creating a simple Outgoing configuration

The guide will illustrate how to create a simple Outgoing configuration on the Alumio dashboard

An outgoing configuration determines how data is sent from Alumio. In this example a configuration will be created which sends data to http://httpbin.org/anything.

An outgoing configuration can be created by going to Connections > Outgoing.

An outgoing configuration has an identifier and a name. We use:

• Identifier: slideshows-to-httpbin
• Name: Slideshows to httpbin

An outgoing configuration also uses a publisher. A publisher is an object which sends data to a system. In this case, we use the HTTP publisher prototype. We configure is as follows:

• Request URI: http://httpbin.org/anything
• Request method: post
• Request parameters: &{@}

The code &{@} is a placeholder that will be replaced by Alumio with the entity data of the task.
