Before you begin building a pipeline, ensure that you have the following:
The SnapLogic Trial is hosted in a shared environment. Please be mindful of the data you use during the trial.
If you already have an account for SnapLogic, you will not receive the email from the platform with temporary credentials. The Trial Program Manager is notified of your sign-up request and will add you to the trial org. If you do not see snaplogictrial as your org within 24 business hours, email trial-support@snaplogic.com.
During your trial, you will connect Snaps (pre-built connectors) and build integration pipelines through the Designer tab.
Access our Free Trial Snaps through the Snap Catalog on the left panel in the Designer as shown below. You can build pipelines with the Snaps provided for the trial.
Custom Snaps, which enable integration between applications and databases that are not currently available in the Snap catalog, cannot be created during the trial. |
Once you identify the Snap to use, drag and drop it onto the canvas. To link Snaps, the input view type of the next Snap must match the output view type of the previous, that is, Snaps with binary input view (diamond connector) can only be connected to Snaps with a binary output view (diamond receptor), and Snaps with a document input view (circle connector) can only be connected to Snaps with document output view (circle receptor).
It is possible for two Snaps to be next to each other but not actually be linked. Make sure the views (the circle or diamond between the two Snaps) turn blue, indicating that the Snaps are linked.
The Snap is now configured and ready to connect with other Snaps in a pipeline.
In this section, we will use SnapLogic Patterns to build pipelines. Patterns are ready-to-use pipelines you can configure and customize using a step-by-step wizard.
To build a SnapLogic pipeline using a Pattern:
a. Click Add Account to open the Create Account Options dialog. Click OK.
b. In Create account, you need to have an existing account for the application you’re using for this trial (for example, Salesforce) that you are integrating in the SnapLogic platform. For example, as shown above, you will need an existing SFDC (Salesforce.com) account user credentials to enter in the Create account dialog.
c. Once you have entered the information of the application you are accessing, click Validate or Apply. This configures your account in the Wizard. Click Next.
d. Likewise, and as needed, provide account details for any additional accounts related to the Snaps and pipelines you’d like to create.
e. After configuring the accounts, click Execute Pipeline. The color of the Snaps in the pipeline turn yellow in a running state and then green upon successful execution.
Once you complete the steps outlined in this Quick Start Guide you should now be able to create your first integration pipeline. Congratulations!
