Create Connection

The connection represents a specific Pricefx partition and its associated user authentication details. If you have multiple accounts or multiple partitions, you need a separate connection for each.

Connection Tab

Options:

  • URL – URL to access Pricefx via browser. The path is not required. For example, https://app.pricefx.eu.

  • Username – Username to log in to Pricefx via browser.

  • Password – Password to log in to Pricefx via browser.

  • Partition – Name of the partition that you use to log in to Pricefx via browser.

  • Use JWT Token in Process – Makes the connector use JWT token instead of Username, Password to invoke Pricefx API. It is recommended to use for better performance at the Pricefx server. The token can be retrieved from the “Get Token” operation and expires in about 30 minutes. When using JWT token authentication, you must specify the token value. You can set the JWT token value using the “JWT Token” document property. You can only choose either using JWT token or OAuth token.

  • Use OAuth Token in Process Makes the connector use OAuth token instead of Username, Password to invoke Pricefx API. It is recommended to use for better performance at the Pricefx server. The token can be retrieved from the “Get Token” operation and expires in about 60 minutes. When using OAuth token authentication, you must specify the token value. You can set the OAuth token value using the “OAuth Access Token” document property. You can only choose either using JWT token or OAuth token.

OAuth Configuration Tab

If Use OAuth Token in Process is selected on the Connection tab, you will have to configure “OAuth Configuration Tab” as well.

  • Client ID – Pricefx API Key

  • Client Secret – Base64 encoded string of {partition}/{username}:{password}

 

Test Connection

You can test your connection settings before you use the connection in a process or even before you save the connection.
