    Hi [mention:5e18cdcd897344ef817158c1a028da78:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05],

    Get is for querying data and POST or PUT is for adding or updating data in an external system.

    For example: Consider a employee management system (Appian internal system) and it is linked to a payroll system (external system).

    In this case if appian wants to get the payroll detail from the payroll system then we should use GET integration.

    If appian wants to create a payroll account or update anything in payroll system then we should use POST / PUT integration

    When applying GET , Modifying Data check box is also enable i mean does that mean we can use that option for GET as well . 

    And PUT - used to update a record if existing and insert if the record is not existing . POST- to insert a new record. Here both these methods can be applied to insert . 

    What is recommended to choose between PUT and POST
