Trigger, Invoke, and Trigger & Invoke in OIC REST Connections

Trigger, Invoke, and Trigger & Invoke in OIC REST Connections

In Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC), REST connections allow systems to communicate. You can configure a connection in one of three ways: Trigger, Invoke, or Trigger and Invoke.

Trigger: OIC acts as a server, exposing a REST API so that external systems can receive data. Example: Third-party service receiving data using OIC Rest API.

Invoke: OIC acts as a client, calling external REST services. Example: Fetching data from an external API like a CRM system.

Trigger and Invoke: OIC can both receive and send requests using the same connection, enabling two-way communication. Example: Receiving customer data and validating it via an external service in a single flow.

By understanding these roles, you can set up flexible and efficient integrations tailored to your needs.
