This scenario shows how to create a Source Integration Action which reads data from Dropbox and uses the tActionOutput component to transmit this data for further processing.
-
The tDropboxConnection component opens a connection to Dropbox.
-
The tDropboxGet component downloads the input data as a flow.
-
The tFlowToIterate component reads data line by line from the input flow and stores the data entries in global variables.
-
The tFileInputExcel component reads data from the input flow which has been added in the auto-completion list (Ctrl+Space).
-
The tActionOutput component transmits data to the next step for further processing.
-
