Postman importer (Beta)

Introduction

The Postman importer can be used to build a connector from a Postman collection. You can:

• Upload a Postman collection from a file

• Provide a URL to a Postman collection

The Patchworks Postman importer will then attempt to:

• create the system/connector

• create system variables

• create authentication type (OAuth 1 & 2; Token; API key; Basic)

• create authentication variables

• create endpoints (including variables)

• enable the authentication type for all endpoints

Any item that the importer cannot complete is flagged for you to add/adjust manually after the import.
