Prerequisites
To use this connector, you will need the HighGear application, version 9.1.0 or above.
You will also need the following:
- The base URL of your HighGear system:
This is the part of the URL you see in your web browser address bar without the specific page you're on.
The two most common patterns of base URL are
https://SUBDOMAIN.example.comwhere SUBDOMAIN is "highgear" or something similar orhttps://example.com/highgear. - An integration account and API key: This is necessary so that the connector can communicate with the HighGear REST API. To learn how to create an integration account, go to the help in your HighGear system and search for the article Creating an Integration Account.
How to get credentials
To set up and use the connector, you will need an integration account in your HighGear system with an API key.
Please go to the help in your HighGear system and refer to the following articles to learn how to set up an integration account and create an API key for it.
- Creating an Integration Account
- Creating an Integration API Key for an Account
Get started with your connector
To get started with the HighGear Workflow connector and to trigger a flow when a task enters a workflow web request node in your HighGear system, follow these steps:
- Create a HighGear Workflow connection if not created. For a new connection, enter the base URL and subdomain for your HighGear system in addition to the API Key for your integration account.
- Add a When a task enters a web request node trigger and select a HighGear workflow and node. This will trigger your flow when a task enters the selected workflow node.
- Add a Get task action to get data from the task. Use the Task Id from the When a task enters a web request node trigger and select the task form with the data fields you want to load.
- Add another connector to send task data to. Some common use cases are to create an Outlook event from the start and end date of a HighGear task, send an email about a task to the assignee's email address, or update the status of a corresponding record in another system.
Known issues and limitations
- Additional data (i.e. Task Fields to Send) included with outbound web requests from a HighGear workflow is not currently supported with the connector. For now, get the data you need via the Get task action after receiving a trigger from your HighGear system.
For issues with the HighGear Workflow connector, please contact HighGear support.
