Flowker provider configurations connect workflows to external services. A configuration stores or references the connection settings and credentials it needs. Internally credential-managed catalog providers can require no client-supplied credentials. You manage provider configurations in the Lerian Console.

​
What is a Provider?

A Provider is a catalog integration type that groups related executors and declares a configuration schema. A provider configuration selects a catalog provider or references a tenant-provided OpenAPI document, then supplies or references connection settings for executor call nodes. This keeps credentials and endpoints out of individual workflows.

​
Accessing the Providers page

To open the Providers page, click Providers from the left-side menu on the Flowker page. The page displays all provider configurations for the organization in a data table, with the following columns:
  • Name: the provider configuration name.
  • Provider: the catalog integration type, for a catalog configuration.
  • Type: the configuration kind: catalog selects a catalog provider, while external_openapi references a tenant-provided OpenAPI document.
  • Schemas: XSD or OpenAPI schemas bound to the configuration. OpenAPI bindings can be restricted to operations.
  • Status: the configuration status: Active or Disabled.
  • Last Modified: the date of the last change to the configuration.
  • Actions: action menu.
You can filter provider configurations by name or status using the filter fields above the table.

​
Provider Catalog

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

​
Available actions menu

For each provider configuration, the following actions are available in the action menu ():
  • Details: opens the provider configuration for viewing and editing.
  • Enable / Disable: toggles the configuration status. Workflow nodes that reference a disabled configuration fail at execution time until you enable it again.
  • Delete: permanently removes the provider configuration.
