To link two integration tasks, place the cursor on the task you want to link, hover over the link icon and click Link to Task.

The LinkTask page appears. From the drop-down, select next task to be executed if the condition you define on this page is met.

Use the Connector Palette

The Connector Palette simplifies bot authoring. It displays all integration tasks defined on the bot organized by category.

To access the Connector Palette, click the icon on the left side of the Connector Designer. You can also access the Connector Palette from the Connector Designer by hovering the mouse over the add icon () and clicking the Connector Palette icon (). When you add the first integration task, use the second option.

You use the Connector Palette using drag and drop functionality. Search for the desired integration task or navigate the Connector Palette until you find the desired task, drag and drop it in the working area as follows based on where you want to add the task:

• To add the task between two existing integration tasks, place the task on the line that connects the two tasks and when the line connecting the second step is highlighted, drop the task from the Connector Palette.



• To add as child integration task, place the cursor on the parent task and when it is highlighted, drop the integration tas from the Connector Palette.

To configure DRUID predefined integration tasks steps, in the working area, click on the desired task and use the right editor to configure the details.
