Import data with custom request add-in

The import data with custom request add-in (Figure 1.1) is used to submit custom requests against e.g. a modified remote system plugin.

The add-in parameters are:

Parameter name	Value	Comments
Preconfigured endpoint	A preconfigured endpoint	Select a preconfigured endpoint from the list in Settings > Integration > Endpoint management
Web service URL	An URL	Enter the URL to the DW Connector webservice
Security key	A string	The secret key required by the DW Connector webservice
Request XML	An XML request	Passing a request for data to the plugin on the remote system
Import activity	An import activity	Specify which import activity should take the data returned by the remote system and import it to the Dynamicweb database
Log all request and responses	True/false	Logs all requests and responses – this is useful when debugging

The notification parameters are used to send a notification email to one or more email addresses whenever the batch job is run – you can use the Only on failure setting to only send an email if the job fails.
