#Flic button how to

The use case is, the shop has a bucket of safety labels, when the bucket gets low, they can push this button to signal the purchaser to order more, or even maybe down the road bypass the purchaser altogether and just order them from the supplier. What I am hoping to do is configure a task for each button to make a row in a UD table so I can do something with it in E-10. It’s using their app to make a internet request. Well it’s not really writing an app (that’s way above my skill level). I’ll be interested to see what you come up with!

That means some folks have had to add a different user for each company. With no header for Company, the users ‘CurComp’ (last logged in company) is used to set context. Not applicable to your button POC but something folks using tools like Microsoft Flow have to struggle thru. This means you may need a different identity per company. There are tools where you cannot pass custom headers such as the Epicor CallSettings header where you set the company. NOTE: Company setting is an interesting (frustrating) topic for many. You probably will be hard coding that for this in production since it will be hard to change companies on a button press (Press once for Company 1, press twice for company b? Probably not). *Set Context - Which company / plant / other Session variable do you want to have the server call execute under? You can easily pass the company in the header. Bonus points for adding a BPM to write out the tip number and the userid to a UD table or append to the tip text to play around and learn what is happening. Try something simple like adding a Tip record from Postman to see how things get updated. In that case, create a test user and brag the ‘basic auth’ line for it from PostMan for your test user. You COULD just hardcode a ‘ButtonAgent’ user in E10 for a POC but hopefully we can progress beyond that for production level. pass credentials to authenticate the ‘button’. You need to ‘login’ to ERP somehow e.g.

I don’t see their docs and how to write the app but a few things… I’ve been reading these posts and I’m understanding more and more, but not quite to the point of being able to implement it yet. I’m assuming that’s going to be some Epicor login information right? I’ve been looking through some stuff trying to understand what I need to do, and I think I’m getting there but I need a little guidance. The next line is for URL, and I can grab that from the Swagger help. In the UI there is a selection for get, post, put and delete.

Cool! Now I want to be able to do the same thing with the Flic App. I added a row to UD09 using the “try it” button from swagger. I was able to use the API/help for rest connected to our 10.2 test system from a browser. I don’t have the hardware yet, but it looks like you can make the tasks on the app with your phone and just trigger it from my phone.
