Connect your Hygraph project to Adminix

Adminix is a cloud workflow automation platform that companies can use to create processes using serverless technology.

What you can do with the Hygraph-Adminix integrationAnchor

  • Create custom automation workflows directly on the Hygraph user interface, such as sending an email every time a new product is sold.

Prerequisites to use this integrationAnchor

  • You must have a Hygraph account. If you don't have one, you can create one here.
  • You must have an Adminix account. If you don't have one, you can request one here.
    • You must have created a workspace in Adminix. Click here for information on how to create workspaces.
    • You will also need a workspace access token & project ID. You will find this information in your Adminix account. Step 4 of the integration flow explains exactly where each of them is located.

Apps are environment specific. This means their configuration is applied per environment. Take this into consideration if you're working with a project using more than one environment.
