Create your first integration

Automating the streaming of data between a Source and Destination system using HighCohesion is done by creating a Stream.

The anatomy of a stream

A system here refers to any type of source and destination, be it an a specific 3rd party application, or something more generic like a FTP location, other file storage types or a communication endpoint like email or Slack.

A Stream is created by combining three key components: 1. The Source function - The Source Function decides what data should be pulled from the Source system and when. You will need a System Key in order to pull the data from your Source system. 2. The Transformation - The Transformation is responsible for transforming the data of the Source system to match the data of the Destination System. 3. The Destination - The Destination Function decides what data should be pulled from the Destination system and when. You will need a System Key in order to post the data to your Destination system.

Unless you're a Developer using HighCohesion's SDK, all configuration for HighCohesion is done from the Control Panel.
