Request from Archer to external service

SergeiBakhaev

Hello!

 

I'm looking into making requests from Archer to external services.

For example, a custom button in record/iView, that makes some action in another system.

 

Problem is, that almost any action requires authentication. And as far as I know, custom object is JavaScript.

So, storing credentials in custom object is very bad idea.

 

What is my options? I have no idea where to start.

 

Make a server-side script, and then call it from my custom object? Then, there will be the problem that only user/button should be able to call it.

Sounds like Ajax script to me....

Mostly, yes.

But how do you hide credentials?
