Creating Custom Connector to ViviyScrum

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I'm setting up a custom connector for the first time and I'm having trouble translating the API's documentation into what I need to set up the connection.

 

VivifyScrum allows you to post new items (among other things) and provides the following information:

 

To be able to add new Items via API, you need to create a POST request to the following route:

https://www.vivifyscrum.com/api/v2/task

Required fields when creating an Item include:

  • Email - email address that uniquely identifies the user who will be used as the creator of the Item
  • Name - this will be the name of the created Item
  • Board - this is a Board code that will determine to which Board newly created Item should be added

With the following as an example:

 

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" --data 'email=test@testmail.com&name=APITask&board=S&description=This task is created using VS API&points=1&priority=Low&value=1&type=Task&assignee=test@testmail.com&parent_task=S-1&reviewers[]=admin@admin.com&reviewers[]=admintwo@admin.com&sprint=Sprint 1&sprint_backlog_column=To do&labels[]=Test&checklists[Checklist one][]=This is first item&checklists[Checklist one][]=This is second item&checklists[Checklist two][]=This is first item in second checklist' 'https://www.vivifyscrum.com/api/v2/task'

 

In my Custom Connector, I have done the following:

And then I created an Action and tried several ways and none of them seem to work.  I keep getting this message:image.png

 

I've tried doing it using JSON format with application/json and creating the fields with {"email": "string", etc...}.  I've also tried doing it using application/x-www-form-urlencoded and just typing in a long string like they show in the example.  Either way, I get that error.

 

Any thoughts?

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    Could you provide the API document you are referring to?

    In addition, the error message mentions “Expression value is invalid. The template field is required”. Could you provide the specific configuration in the Request?

    Please share more details.

     

    Best Regards,

    @v-bacao-msft Here is the API documentation:

    https://www.vivifyscrum.com/how-it-works/extras/api

     

    This is what I have:image.png

     

    For the content-type, I have tried the above as well as application/json.  

     

    With both content types, I tried using typing in the information as shown in the API document in the body field as follows (I replaced the values with my specific values):

    "email=test@testmail.com&name=APITask&board=S" 

     

    With both content types, I also set it up so that it used JSON format with the required email, name and board fields. 

     

    I also tried both without a content-type.  None of those iterations worked.

     

    I am not sure what the "template" field is referring to as there are no fields in the VivifyScrum api called template.
