Trying to Run a POST integration as a GET so we can load a data query automatically on page load.

Yeah to follow on from Stefan's point, I recommend that you don't use a GET if this system is expecting a POST. POST calls can still use the "Queries Data" option, which would then allow you to query the data on initial page load.

The one thing to keep in mind is that there are no guarantees that the query only runs a single time - if you expect that this integration only queries data, it should be fine. However, if this integration also writes data, then you may not want to use the "Queries Data" option because you could end up with multiple writes.

It will only work when used through a SaveInto parameters for buttons or links.[/quote]

I tend to disagree. Whether you can just call an integration or only use it in a saveInto only depends on the setting of the "Usage" property.

It should work fine, I (as well as others on here) have used this method before though we don't talk about it much.

There is no other way AFAIK.
