Providers are external service integrations that your workflows can connect to. Each provider configuration stores the connection details and credentials needed to interact with an external system. In this section, you’ll learn how to manage providers via the Lerian Console.

​
What is a Provider?

A Provider represents a configured connection between Flowker and an external service. Workflows use provider nodes to interact with these services, and the provider configuration supplies the necessary connection parameters — so you don’t need to hardcode credentials or endpoints in each workflow.

​
Accessing the Providers page

To open the Providers page, click Providers from the left-side menu on the Flowker page. The page displays all configured providers for the organization in a data table, with the following columns:
  • Name — the provider configuration name.
  • Provider — the type of external service (from the provider catalog).
  • Status — the connection status: Active or Inactive.
  • Last Modified — the date the configuration was last updated.
  • Actions — action menu.
You can filter providers by name or status using the filter fields above the table.

​
Provider Catalog

Flowker includes a catalog of available provider types. When creating a new provider configuration, you select from the catalog which type of external service you want to connect to. The catalog provides the configuration schema and required fields for each provider type.

​
Available actions menu

For each provider, the following actions are available in the action menu ():
  • Edit — opens the provider configuration for editing.
  • Test — tests the connection to verify that credentials and settings are correct.
  • Delete — permanently removes the provider configuration.
