How to use Textract Adapter ID with Appian AWS Integration?

Hi pearlfranz ,

I think there is a limitation on the Appian's AWS Textract Connected System  that it does not natively expose a way to add the AdaptersConfig parameter or pass an adapter ID using its built-in integration objects—it's limited to standard Textract parameters.

I would suggest that you can use the Amazon Textract APIs directly by creating a new integration Object with HTTP Connected System as per their documentation you can use the below code block to configure the payload.

"AdaptersConfig": {
  "Adapters": [
    {
      "AdapterId": "YOUR_ADAPTER_ID",
      "Version": "1",
      "Pages": ["*"]
    }
  ]
}

In case the configuration of AWS Textract API is complex then you can consider implementing a custom proxy (such as an AWS Lambda or API Gateway endpoint) that Appian calls. This proxy then invokes Textract with the adapter parameters.

Hope that helps.
