Benefits:

• Easily connect API with the M-Files object types or value lists.
• Ensure consistency between M-Files and external systems.
• Import users, countries, projects, and more.

Features:

EK REST Object Type allows you to import objects from an external REST web service into M-Files as external objects. It supports both simple scenarios where objects should only be viewable within the M-Files client, but also more complex ones where objects created, changed, or deleted in the M-Files client should be pushed back to the originating web service.

• Objects retrieval – Objects can be fetched from an external service.
• Objects push – Objects changed or deleted in M-Files can be pushed back to the external service to be updated or deleted.
• Property mapping – Object properties from an external service can be intelligently mapped to M-Files properties.
• Response transformation – Apply data transformation expressions to service response when needed.
• Pagination – Services that return data paginated by query string parameter can also be used with EK REST Object Type.
• Authentication – Currently supported service authentication methods are token-based and password-based authentication.
