Configuration Object

To have events delivered to your system, you must provide specific configuration to a new integration.

note

You can add only five events to the observes array. If you try to add more than five, the following error is returned:

• "You have reached the integration event limit of 5" (API).
• "There was a problem saving your integration" (Commerce Manager).

The content of the configuration object depends on the value of the integration_type.

Integration Type	Configuration Object
webhook	Configuring a webhook
aws_sqs	Configuring an AWS SQS queue
stomp	Configuring a Simple Text Oriented Messaging Protocol (STOMP) queue

Configuring a webhook

Webhooks are delivered using POST to the configured url. You can specify a secret_key to forward to __X-MOLTIN-SECRET-KEY along with the request as a header.

note

X-MOLTIN-INTEGRATION-TRIGGER is also added to the request headers. This allows you to process several events at the same url. This is in the format of an observable event key.

The webhook configuration object has the following structure.

Attribute	Type	Description
url	string	A required URL that the integration fires.
secret_key	string	A optional header. Useful to authenticate the response came from Elastic Path. This is sent as X-MOLTIN-SECRET-KEY.

{
  "url": "https://yourwebsite.com/order-created-notification", // Required
  "secret_key": "secret_key_to_validate_on_your_endpoint" // Optional
}

Configuring an AWS SQS queue

These event types are delivered directly into the specified AWS SQS queue.

The AWS SQS configuration object has the following structure:

Attribute	Type	Description
url	string	The required SQS queue URL.
aws_access_key_id	string	The required AWS access key ID.
aws_secret_access_key	string	The required AWS secret key ID.
region	string	The required AWS region.

{
  "url": "https://sqs.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/123456789/epcc-external-queue",
  "aws_access_key_id": "****************JIMB",
  "aws_secret_access_key": "************************************HK4o",
  "region": "eu-west-1"
}

Configuring a Simple Text Oriented Messaging Protocol (STOMP) queue

These event types are delivered directly into the specified message queue.

The STOMP configuration object has the following structure:

Attribute	Type	Description
username	string	The username used to authenticate against a STOMP server.
password	string	The password used to authenticate against a STOMP server.
destination	string	The destination in the messaging queuing system.
addresses	string	The addresses that correspond with the destination name.

{
  "username": "epcc-integration-1",
  "password": "****************************CDKn",
  "destination": "/queue/epcc-integrations.order-created",
  "addresses": [
      "stomp+ssl://b-618354a5-e04f-4eff-99c7-734e9d8b91a5-2.mq.us-west-2.amazonaws.com:61614",
      "stomp+ssl://b-618354a5-e04f-4eff-99c7-734e9d8b91a5-1.mq.us-west-2.amazonaws.com:61614"
    ]
}
