Creating an integration connecting systems

You can ask Boomi DesignGen to design an integration based on two specific applications or systems. For example, you can enter the prompt "Connect Salesforce to NetSuite". As you type the prompt, it auto-completes to indicate that it is a common design pattern. When you use these common patterns, Boomi DesignGen shows you multiple data objects you can connect, such as account records to customer records.

Integration editing is not supported for this type of prompt. After creating the integration, you can ask Boomi Scribe to generate process documentation.

Prerequisites

To use Boomi DesignGen, you must have the following:

  • Integration Build Read Write access. Read User roles and privileges to learn more about default Boomi Enterprise Platform roles and permissions.
  • Create Component API feature enabled on your account.
  • Agreement to the Boomi AI terms and conditions. Administrators can select the AI icon > Get Started to view and accept terms and conditions.
  • Connectors enabled on your account. Many connectors are enabled by default. However, certain connectors may not be available due to licensing or your subscription. Read Connector licenses and classes to learn more about connection licenses and your subscription.

Important considerations

  • Boomi DesignGen currently supports the English language.
  • The Component Create API is used to generate integrations. These API calls count towards your API usage. Read API usage to learn more.
  • The Boomi AI large language model's responses are dependent upon the input it receives by the user, and different inputs may return different results.
  • The model is continuously learning and responses will continue to improve as the model improves.
  • Boomi DesignGen is only focused on responding to prompts related to generating integration designs.
  • It has no knowledge of previous integration conversations and designs. You cannot refer to a previous prompt or response. To make adjustments to your prompt, copy and paste the previous prompt with your edits in the chat window.
  • If you mention an unsupported connector in your Boomi GPT prompt, Boomi DesignGen replaces it with the HTTP connector step. Read Boomi GPT Supported Connectors for more information.

Walkthrough

  1. Enter a prompt in the Boomi GPT chat window. For example, “Connect Salesforce to NetSuite”. Prompts have a 750 character limit.
note

Boomi DesignGen uses the Component Create API to generate integrations. These API calls count towards your API usage. Read API usage to learn more.

  1. Select a suggestion to tell Boomi DesignGen which integration to design. For example, select Account to Customer. Boomi DesignGen may take approximately up to one minute to respond. Boomi Scribe generates a high-level description of the integration. You can click the Copy icon to copy and paste the high-level description into the process canvas or your content management system. The text is in Markdown.

  2. If Boomi DesignGen finds that you have an existing connection for a connector in the design, you can:

    • Select Create new connection to generate a new connection configuration for the connector.
    • Select Choose existing connection to use a current connection you've already configured in Integration.
    note

    Boomi DesignGen currently supports reusing existing connections if there are five or less connection component options. If more than five options exists, it creates a new connection.

  3. Optional: Click Show more. Boomi Scribe generates a detailed process summary that includes information about each step and its operation. You can click the Copy icon to copy and paste the summary into your content management system. The text is in Markdown.

  4. Optional: Click Process Documentation.Documentation includes a summary, process metadata, business context, process steps, profile names, and functions of each step. When this information is available, it describes object names and operation types for connectors. Connector steps also include information about the operation name, request profile, and response profile.

    The documentation includes details about the source and target objects for mapping components with XML or JSON profile types. When documentation includes a Map components or subprocess, it contains a link that opens the object in the Integration build canvas to provide more context. Boomi Scribe also generates a process diagram.

  5. Optional: Click the Copy icon to copy and paste the documentation into your content management system. The text is in Markdown.

  6. Optional: Click the Download icon to export documentation as a .docx file. When opened in a .docx-supported editor, the content includes the process diagram and appears similar to how content appears in Boomi GPT. Layout and spacing may differ depending on the editor.

  7. Do one of the following:

    • Select Take a look to open the integration canvas and review the design.
    • Select Profile mapping to open the Map component so you can see how fields are mapped from one format to another. Boomi Pathfinder auto-maps source to target fields if a suggested mapping is available. Functions are currently not supported. Read Map components for assistance.

  8. Configure, test, and deploy your integration. Read Process Building and Deployment for assistance.
