Why Custom Integrations Matter
Beam AI provides native integrations with multiple platforms, but custom integrations allow:
Extended Functionality: Connect proprietary or industry-specific tools.
Automated Data Flow: Retrieve, store, and process external data.
Real-Time Task Execution: Trigger actions directly from workflows.
Building a Custom Integration
Step 1: Access the Integrations Tab
Navigate to the Integrations section from the left-side panel and select Create Custom Integration.
Step 3: Configure API Schema
Import API schema from a URL or define it manually.
Import OpenAPI Schema (recommended for third-party APIs with standard documentation).
Define Custom Schema (for proprietary or internal platforms).
Example JSON schema:
Step 4: Activate Actions
Review the available actions derived from the schema.
Enable the required actions by checking the activation box.
Step 5: Authentication & Connection
After saving the integration:
Connect using API credentials.
For API key authentication, input the key provided by the external service.
For Basic authentication, enter the username and password.
