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.
