To use external services in your workflows, you need to configure at least one provider — a connection to an external system that Flowker can interact with. To add a provider:
1
Go to the Providers page and click the + New Provider button.
2
The Add Provider form will open. Fill in the fields:
  • Name — a descriptive name to identify this provider configuration (e.g., production-payment-gateway).
  • Description (optional) — a description about the provider and what it does.
  • How do you want to connect? — choose the connection type:
    • Connect a Lerian provider — select one of the providers from the Lerian catalog. When you select the provider, additional fields will appear for you to configure the connection. Only catalog providers classified with internal credentials are provisioned automatically by the platform. Providers classified with external credentials, such as Tracer and Auth, require connection authentication settings.
    • Add your own API — connect an external API from its OpenAPI spec. Select an uploaded OpenAPI spec, and optionally set a Base URL (leave it blank to use the spec’s server URL) and the authentication settings. Connecting your own API covers uploading the spec and calling its operations from a node.

Review the configuration and click Add Provider to save the provider.
The connection type is chosen at creation and cannot be changed later — editing a provider keeps its original type.
After creation, the new provider will appear in the providers list with status Active, ready to be referenced by workflow nodes.
