HTTP REST Collection Publisher

This functions in the same way the rest connector in the Data-in source connectors (1.3.5.2). however, there are a few differences. The connector recognizes all the fields in the document you are sending which can be used as reference fields e.g.: ${orders.field1.field2}, however you can also still make pre-requests as per the source connector, however these will need to be specified in the parameter file to be used as a reference.

The other difference is that because this is a publisher, you would usually get a response back from the call. The response from these calls will be saved in that transaction as an attached “message”, however the publisher connector settings allow you to also save this response as a document in Utopia which you can then use for other processes. In order to do this, you need to choose “Yes” in the “Save To Collection” dropdown and then choose which Collection you would like to send the response into (recommended to create this beforehand). Each user will be able to see all the Collections that they have access to linked by Organisation. _meta fields in HTTP REST Collection Publishers can be used to link responses saved in separate collections with the original document. The _meta field is taken from the in-going document and added to the response. The user can use this to link up identifiers and other useful data to move from the inbound document to the response. Note: this publisher can also be used for SOAP calls, you will need to include the correct soapAction header items.
