Hands-On Challenge - Add an Integration to a Process Model

This document outlines a hands-on challenge for adding an integration to a process model using Appian. It provides a series of goals to achieve, including configuring a Call Integration smart service and an XOR gateway to handle success and error paths. Additionally, it suggests implementing a looping pattern for retrying failed integrations and includes tips for mapping data outputs and determining integration success.

Add an Integration to a Process Model
Before beginning this exercise, you should have completed the previous exercises: Hands-On
Practice: Create a Connected System and Hands-On Practice: Create an Integration.

This is a challenge exercise. In previous exercises, you were provided with detailed
instructions for each step. In this exercise, you will build a process model that calls an
integration and includes both success and error paths. Instead of detailed steps, you will be
given goals to achieve based on what you have learned in the lesson. If you get stuck, rewatch
the video in the lesson for guidance.

Create a Process Model


1. Drag and drop a Call Integration smart service and an XOR gateway onto the
process flow.

2. Drag and drop an End Event node below the End node and create a pathway from the
XOR gateway to the End Event node.

3. Configure the Call Integration smart service to call the vehicle API created in earlier
exercises and map the data outputs to the relevant process variables.

4. Configure the XOR gateway to determine if the integration was successful or not.

5. Be sure to map successful attempts to the End node and unsuccessful attempts to the
End Event node.

Tip #1: Include a looping pattern to retry failed integrations

Integrations can fail for several reasons. Trying an integration call again can be a
simple solution to determine if the issue is persistent. By including a looping
pattern in your process flow, you can have the integration try again if it fails. You
can also include a counter in the looping pattern to ensure an X amount of retries
is attempted, before the process continues down the error path. Try
implementing a looping and counter pattern in your solution! Looking for
guidance? Check out Looping Patterns in Appian Documentation!
