• While working in a new or existing integration, you can add an application to a flow simply by clicking Add source or Add destination/lookup.

In the resulting Application list, select HTTP.

The Create connection pane opens with required and advanced settings.

E. Test the connection

Once you have configured the Walmart DSV connection, you have a few options for continuing:

• Save – click this button to test the connection, commit the new connection so that it will be available to all integrations for your account
• Save & close – click to test and save the connection and exit the Create connection pane
• Cancel – click to exit without saving any new changes
• Test connection – click this button to verify that your new connection is free of errors

When you test or save the connection, it is verified before continuing. 

The new connection is now successfully added to your account. It will be applied to the current source or destination app, if you created it within a flow. Otherwise, you may proceed to register the connection with an integration.
