Reuse Processes in Integration

I have a number of Integration actions, which I want to re-use in different integrations. Instead of copying them from integration (file) to integration, I thought of grouping them together into a Process using Process Builder and executing it from multiple Integrations.

Alas, I cannot find a way of passing parameters from an integration action to a process. Even Global Variables from the integration do not seem to be available inside the Process.

Any and all suggestions are welcome!

  Hey Harald,

  I have two thoughts on this-

  1. If multiple integration configurations share the same set of actions, would it make more sense to combine them into one integration, and then conditionally run the actions that differ between them?

  2. If you truly do need a shared set of actions outside of the existing integrations, you could create those steps in another integration, say Network Socket or Web Service, where you could send your initial integrations' data to that socket/server over localhost and it can reply back with the outcome of the actions.

  Hi Ian Faust

  Thanks for your reply. I have already considered your suggestions, and I will probably go with the web service as the common process interface.

  It's a pity that BarTender Processes do not take any form of argument or shared variables. The other alternative would be a database table with the arguments, but in principle that's not much different form the web service
