Celigo’s Integrator.io provides various tools for managing integrations, including the ability to send ping requests to test connections. A ping request helps users verify whether an integration connection is operational before executing data transfers or API calls.
What is a Ping Request?
A ping request in Celigo is used to check the status of a connection by sending a simple request to the target system. If the connection is active and properly configured, the system responds with a success message.
Why Use Ping Requests?
- Verify Connection Health – Ensures that the integration is properly set up and can communicate with the target system.
- Troubleshoot Issues – Helps identify connectivity problems before running actual data flows.
- Prevent Errors – Reduces the risk of failed transactions by confirming the connection is working.
How to Perform a Ping Request in Celigo
- Navigate to the Connection Settings – Open the connection you want to test in Integrator.io.
- Locate the Ping Option – Celigo provides a built-in ping request feature for testing connections.
- Execute the Ping Request – Click the Ping button to send a request to the target system.
- Review the Response – If the connection is successful, you will receive a confirmation message. If there is an issue, Celigo will display an error message with troubleshooting details.
Best Practices for Using Ping Requests
- Use ping requests before running integration flows to ensure smooth execution.
- If a ping request fails, check authentication settings, API credentials, and network configurations.
- Regularly test connections to prevent unexpected failures in automated workflows.
By leveraging ping requests in Celigo, users can maintain reliable integrations, reduce errors, and ensure seamless data transfers between applications.
