Service-Backed_Record with post API

Question

Can I create Service-Backed_Record with POST API which returns data on input parameter, How differently it works from GET API. What could be the possible I may face if I use POST API for Service-Backed_Record.

There is no difference. The only thing is that when selecting POST as method, Appian assumes that you want to modify data in the other system. So you have to switch "Usage" back to "Queries Data".

Yes

Correct. A "queries data" integration can be called anywhere, while a "Modifies data" can only be used in a process or saveInto. The used HTTP method does not matter.

Hi Anvesh Shetty , You can create a Service-Backed Record using GET API only as it will return the Data. As postAPI will return a Reaction Tree while it's called in a rule. we can't add this rule in Record data source, we face issue as it's not a valid type to descibe in Record Types: In GET API, we can easily get the data in the rule: If you try to add in record, it will be available: Thanks & let me know if you have any more queries....
