4. Click Install.

Step 2: Configure the integration

• Inbound - As this is a one-way integration, only outbound is required.
• Outbound

You need to remove the existing mapping from the integration to make the custom field available to map on response payload of any other integration.
      • To add additional tokens to the payload, click on the token in the Place Holder list.
      • To parse the properties returned in the response, select the property from the drop-down and provide the value.
