About the Applications Platform Connector

The Applications Platform Connector tool allows communication between Applications Platform and King Task Centre. All communication uses XML. You use the Connector to map King Task Centre data to Applications Platform objects and operations — see Supported Objects.

The XML responses received back from Applications Platform can be saved to file, or passed to another King Task Centre tool for further processing. The responses can include details of the object requested, any errors, or the values of any automatically generated ID fields.

You can use the Applications Platform Connector to provide an indirect link from your Applications Platform installation to other systems that King Task Centre is connected to. For example, if you make use of the Web Portal in Applications Platform, and have your CRM system connected to King Task Centre, you can make CRM data available to the Web Portal via the Applications Platform Connector.

## Adding a New Task Step (cont.)

1. All connections created in Global Configuration are presented here. Select the relevant connection from the Connection drop-down.

   Alternatively, you can use a King Task Centre variable to create a dynamic connection, where the connection used is determined by runtime circumstances. At runtime, the contents of the variable must match the name of one of the Connecting to Applications Platform connections — this is case-sensitive.

2. Go to the Mapping tab.
