          Register an External Service

          Register an External Service

          Provide an API spec that describes your endpoint's services and methods. The API spec’s schema generates the external service operations with corresponding input and output parameters. You can also edit an exisiting registration, register an external service with a Mulesoft API, or register an external service using Flow Bulder's HTTP Callout functionality.

          Required Editions

          Available in: Lightning Experience
          Available in: Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions
          • Define an External Credential and a Named Credential
            First, create an external credential to specify an authentication protocol and permission set or profile to use when authenticating to an external system. Second, in order for External Services to authenticate, create a named credential and specify it as the callout endpoint.
          • Register an External Service
            Registering an external service takes only a few steps and no code.
          • Register an HTTP Callout Action in a Flow
            Automatically register an external service by declaratively defining an HTTP Callout action in Flow Builder.
          • Manage External Services
            Find services that you already registered, view actions for a service, edit, clone, and delete a service. You can update a registered schema version currently in use in flow or Apex, if the update includes supported components.
          • Media Type Mapping in External Service Registrations
            You can register specifications with nonsupported consumes, produces, or OpenAPI 3.0 content media type directives by mapping the media types to supported media types. Specify a mapping from a dropdown menu on the registration screen, or provide the mapping with code by using Metadata API.
          • Define a Charset in the Schema
            To specify a charset for external callouts, populate the Content-Type header. A charset can be set if specifically defined in the schema.
