I don’t see any way to select the Integration Services Connection I created using “HTTP”
When I add the HTTP Request activity it’s the one coming from the WebAPI package and there’s no Integration Services support.
How do I use the Integration Services connector I created?
Hi @postwick
I assume you have deployed and published it already.
It should just be available as an Integration Service connector in your activity panel under “Available” like this:
Scroll down and see if it’s there. Should have the exact same name that you deployed it as in Connector Builder.
I believe you are looking at the Http Request from Workflows API.
Connectors is a feature that will be coming soon to the Http Request Activity from the WebAPI package.
This is not a custom connector, there is no publishing. It’s an Integration Services Connection.
I’m looking at the HTTP Request from UiPath.WebAPI.Activities
There is no other HTTP Request activity.
Is there no way I can use an Integration Services Connection created as the generic HTTP in an activity to make an API call? If not then what’s the point of the generic HTTP connector?
Correct me if I’m wrong: is your idea about creating a custom connector “shell” that was going to be used purely for authentication, which you then wanted to use inside of the generic http connector?
If yes, that’s a really good idea. I’m just not sure if this is supported 
You might have found out it isn’t. Let me check internally, but first please confirm my assumption 
No. I’m saying that’s what I had to do, because there is no way to use the out-of-the-box generic HTTP connection in any activities except in Studio Web.
The way I did it (connection builder) did work, but you are forced to create at least one resource/activity in order to publish - but then it can just be ignored and you get a HTTP Request activity to use.
I see. If the ask is to use the connector based authentication in RPA, it is being worked on, but from the other end. Even though I don’t think the generic http connector is currently scheduled for a release in RPA, we will add the connectors as one of the options to authenticate the WebAPI http request.
If all goes well it will be released in the next version.
I wouldn’t mind sharing an early build if you’d like to provide some feedback.
