Introduction to Platform NX
Platform NX Overview
Platform NX is an advanced integration platform designed to streamline workflows, automate processes, and optimize organizational operations. With its comprehensive set of features and intuitive interface, Platform NX empowers businesses to connect disparate systems, automate tasks, and gain valuable insights from their data.
Platform NX enables users to create applications either from scratch or using templates. Users can seamlessly build workflows for these applications with user-friendly drag-and-drop functionality. Activities, represented as components, can be effortlessly added to the workflow. The AI generator feature further simplifies the process, making it easy for users to build and customize their workflows efficiently.
We will walk you through the essential steps to create your first application and build efficient workflows using Platform NX.
Create New Application
Platform NX provides three flexible ways to create a new application:
Build from Scratch: Start with a blank canvas for complete customization.
Clone from Git: Efficiently clone an existing application from Git for quicker development.
Use OpenAPI: Leverage standardized development and documentation for seamless integration.
Choose the method that best suits your requirements.
Create Workflows
Now that you have your application, it's time to create workflows. You can do this in three ways:
From Scratch: Begin with a clean slate and design your workflows.
Using OpenAPI: Utilize OpenAPI for standardized and efficient workflow development.
AI Generator: Explore the AI Generator feature to simplify and expedite workflow creation.
Workflow Templates
Platform NX offers various templates to streamline workflow creation:
Orchestration Workflow Template: Implement workflows through service orchestration and human interventions.
CDC Template (Change Data Capture): Create background workflows without requiring user interaction.
Choose the template that aligns with your workflow requirements.
Library Management
The Library feature simplifies workflow management by providing users with a clear view of activity groups, such as HTTP, RDB, etc. Users can easily explore and manage activities by All, Installed, Update Available, or Disabled groups.
Activities
Explore the Activities feature, which provides a range of tools for creating diverse workflows:
RDB Operations: Test, query, and update relational databases.
HTTP Operations: Enhance mapping, work with REST services, and handle Webhooks.
File Operations: Read and manipulate CSV files.
Common Operations: Create reusable subflows, update variables, map data, schedule tasks, manage responses, log information/errors, and mark the end of workflows.
Error Handling: Simplify error management during workflow execution.
Azure Storage Operations: Write to Azure Blob Storage, receive/send/delete messages from Azure Service Bus Queue.
Drag and drop these activities to tailor workflows to your specific needs.
Clone and Publish
Open from Source Control Repositories: Access and reuse existing projects stored in source control repositories, enabling seamless collaboration and leveraging previously developed solutions.
Key Advantages
Effortless Connectivity: Seamlessly connect applications and synchronize workflows, fostering dynamic and adaptable project environments.
Customization and Reusability: Enable customization from scratch or through templates, promoting the reuse of components and ensuring consistent workflows.
Streamlined Development: Accelerate project initiation by reusing existing solutions, reducing redundancy, and enhancing collaboration among team members.
Start building your applications and workflows with ease.
