    Extending ER Destinations: Integration with OneDrive (III)

    In this final post of the series, I’m going to explain how to send files to OneDrive. Since I’ve implemented this functionality in a separate class, it’s more independent from the ER destinations. This is intentional because we may want to reuse the class for other developments. If you are extending destinations that aren’t for…

    To implement the logic, we will create four classes: We won’t write the final class now. I’ll explain it in the next and last post of this series. For now, we will show an info message to verify it’s working. After compiling, we should see the destinations with a lookup for the connection. The enabled…

However, you can also work in memory; at the end of this guide, I’ll explain how. Let’s start with the executable class. We’ll begin by using…

    Using Electronic Reporting for API requests (I)

    When we need to make a request to an external API, it’s really helpful to use ER because it’s a low-code environment that helps us build, test, and fix our messages much faster. ER supports XML and JSON, so we won’t have a hard time designing the request body or reading the response body. With…
