New HTTP Connector Course in University!

Announcements
1

Super excited to announce that Tulip University published a new course on HTTP Connectors! This course replaces outdated HTTP connector content and takes a more detailed approach to creating and using HTTP connectors in Tulip.

HTTP Connectors

Some topics I cover in the course:

Creating new Connectors:

  • Overview and diagrams of connectors pages & features in Tulip Instance
  • Create and configure a new connector
  • Learn to read and understand API Docs
  • Understand the difference between read and write request methods
  • Create connector functions
  • Set function queries and parameters

Working with Connector Responses and Outputs:

  • Learn how to read JSON response bodies
  • Extract properties from objects
  • Extract properties from arrays
  • Filter arrays

Using Connectors in Apps:

  • Call on connectors using trigger logic
  • Store connector outputs in text variables
  • Store connector outputs in interactive tables
  • Use linked variables to display interactive table row details in a text variable when row is selected
  • Extract values from an object to use in trigger logic
  • Populate a single-select dropdown with connector outputs (and use this dropdown to filter an interactive table)

Check it out and let us know what you think! A new SQL Connector course is in the works, so we’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and suggestions.

Hi @SydneyDoyle,

nice course.
I just want to let you know, that there are several links to a json-query documentation.
Unfortunately this github entry no longer exists. Is there any other documentation on how to filter the data for the output?

sample for a broken link: https://github.com/auditassistant/json-query/blob/master/README.md

Thanks for flagging this- here is the documentation for reference. We will make sure to update the documentation in the University as well!

Best,
Cana

Hi Guys, this element of the course is not working when I follow your video exactly.

When I embed an interactive table, the Weather variable does not display so I cant progress with the tutorial.

Please help! thanks Sean
