Dynamic Data Sources

In the Config Wizard Overview video, we showed how to create config variables that allow your customers to enter connection credentials and select options when configuring an instance of your integration.

But, your customers may want to select from dynamic options that are fetched from an external source, such as a list of accounts or projects in a third-party system. You can create config variables that fetch data from external sources, allowing your customers to select from dynamic options when configuring an instance of your integration.

In this video we walk through how to create a data source-backed config variable - we start with a simple data source using a placeholder API, and then build a more complex data source that interacts with data in Salesforce using an established Salesforce connection. We also show how to test the data source locally in our IDE.
