Adding a New Integration

To incorporate a new data source or app integration into your flow, follow these general steps:

1. Select the Integration: Choose the appropriate integration node from the Lamatic Studio Integration
2. Configure Credentials: Set up authentication and access permissions for the external service
3. Define Parameters: Configure specific settings like file paths, sync schedules, or data filters
4. Test Connection: Verify the integration works correctly with your data source
5. Deploy Flow: Activate the integration within your Lamatic workflow

💡 Tip: Each integration has specific setup requirements. Refer to the individual integration documentation for detailed configuration instructions.

Using Integrations in Flows

Lamatic's flexible architecture allows you to:

• Combine Multiple Sources: Use different integrations within a single flow
• Chain Operations: Process data from one source and feed it to another
• Schedule Synchronization: Set up automated data refresh schedules
• Handle Different Formats: Process various file types and data structures

Common Use Cases

• RAG Applications: Use file storage integrations to feed documents into vector databases
• Data Processing: Combine spreadsheet and database integrations for comprehensive data analysis
• Content Automation: Use web crawling and search integrations for content generation
• Team Workflows: Integrate communication platforms for automated team notifications

Integration Best Practices

Security

• Use environment-specific credentials for development and production
• Regularly rotate API keys and access tokens
• Implement proper access controls and permissions
• Store sensitive credentials securely using Lamatic's encryption

Performance

• Configure appropriate sync schedules to balance data freshness and system load
• Use incremental sync modes when possible to reduce processing time
• Monitor integration performance and adjust settings as needed

Data Quality

• Validate data formats and structures before processing
• Implement error handling for failed integrations
• Set up monitoring and alerting for integration issues
• Document data schemas and transformation requirements

⚡ Quick Tip: Start with a simple integration and gradually add complexity as you become familiar with the platform's capabilities.
