Flexcards can connect to external systems by configuring a REST data source to retrieve or send data through public APIs. This setup requires registering the endpoint and defining how the card handles authentication and data mapping.

Core information

REST data sources enable Flexcards to interact with external APIs using GET requests for URL parameters or POST requests with JSON payloads.

More details and nuances

Admins can enable or disable specific data source types for the entire org or specific profiles via the Omni Interaction Access Configuration in Setup.
