Adding a New Integration
To incorporate a new data source or app integration into your flow, follow these general steps:
- Select the Integration: Choose the appropriate integration node from the Lamatic Studio Integration
- Configure Credentials: Set up authentication and access permissions for the external service
- Define Parameters: Configure specific settings like file paths, sync schedules, or data filters
- Test Connection: Verify the integration works correctly with your data source
- 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
âš¡ Quick Tip: Start with a simple integration and gradually add complexity as you become familiar with the platform's capabilities.
