Hello!
I would like to send JSON payload to external API after the user completes ADD NEW CLIENT form created in Appian.
{ "lastName": "John", "firstName": "Smith", "birthDate": "1987-04-26", "emailAddress": "shogun@go.com", "mobilePhone": "+60-11-12345678" }
So the information provided in this form would be sent externally. I created connected system HTTP and POST integration. I suppose I need to also create a CALL INTEGRATION smart service that would send this payload externally, after adding newly created client to Appian Data Store. Am I correct?
Am I right? I don't know how to capture in the integration itself the data from a given smart service in a process. So basically now what happens is when I complete the add new client form it triggers the call integration smart service at it sends to external API hardcoded JSON data from below. Do I need to call these process variables from JSON?
Am I going in the right direction or am I entirely wrong?

Yes. You are absolutely on the right path. Now some changed you will have to make is to accept this JSON dynamically. For that, you need to create a dictionary from the data that you just wrote in the DB using 3rd node in your Process.
For this, you can add a new script task between the write records and call integration. This script task will accept the record type variable and create a required dictionary for you. Now just wrap the dictionary in a!toJson() and that would give you a JSON that you pass in the integration.
NOTE - Use the TEXT type variable to pass the JSON from Script task to PV and then PV to call integration.
Thank you!
