Overview of the Design Module

Overview

The Design module is a comprehensive platform that empowers you to craft your own connectors and automation processes. This unified environment is specifically designed to facilitate the creation of automated workflows and the development of connectors, enabling efficient integration between multiple systems for seamless data transfer and process orchestration. Additionally, it provides information about the resources used in the connector or automation.

Once you access the Design module, you will see the following menu on the left side of the menu bar:
  1. Connectors
  2. Automations
  3. Resources

Automations Designer
This feature offers either a visual or code-based interface, allowing you to develop intricate workflows or processes that operate autonomously in response to specific triggers and actions. By establishing clear logic, conditions, and sequences for tasks spanning multiple systems, the Automation Designer significantly reduces the need for manual intervention, streamlining operations and enhancing overall productivity.
Connector Designer
The Connector Designer serves as a vital component for achieving integration across diverse applications and services. It enables you to create custom connectors or modify existing ones, allowing your automation workflows to communicate effectively with external APIs, databases, and enterprise systems. This capability is crucial for maintaining data consistency and ensuring that processes function smoothly across various platforms.
Flow Editor/Debugger
The Flow Editor/Debugger is a part of any automation or connector. Once you have completed your design, the flow gets created automatically for the process. You can open the flow in edit mode and adjust its process steps or its settings. Additionally, you can debug any flow in the flow editor using the debugger. 

The Flow Editor is an intuitive visual tool for creating, organizing, and managing workflows that interconnect a variety of systems, automations, and data sources. With its user-friendly drag-and-drop interface, you can effortlessly select from a range of pre-designed flow units to define data movement, outline integration steps, automate tasks, and coordinate interactions between systems. This editor allows you to modify the flow without extensive coding expertise to effectively manage and control complex workflow scenarios, making it an accessible option for a wide range of users.
Resources
The Resource module serves as a centralized hub for managing reusable assets used for integration design and data transformation. It includes the following key sections:
  1. Enumerations – Define value mappings and standardized data sets.
  2. Objects – Manage business objects used across integrations.
  3. XSLT Stylesheets – Store and maintain XSLT templates used for transforming XML data.
Each section of the Resource module allows you to create, view, and manage resources that can be used across multiple projects or integration flows.
