Use Port in Okou

Use Port's REST API for software catalog blueprints, entities, self-service actions, action runs, and workflows.

Once connected, supported Port actions can become steps in a reusable workflow alongside the other services your team uses. Run the workflow once, on a schedule, or when an event starts it.

What you can do with Port

  • Execute, approve, or otherwise change Port action runs.
  • Read Port self-service actions and their permissions.
  • Read Port software-catalog blueprints, structure, and permissions.
  • Read, search, aggregate, and inspect Port entities.
  • Run or change the state of Port workflow runs.
  • Read Port action runs, logs, and approver metadata.
  • Create or update Port self-service actions and permissions.
  • Create or update Port software-catalog blueprints and permissions.

How the Port connector works

A connected service becomes one permissioned step in the work you hand off.

    Choose API Token.

  2. 2

    Choose the work

    Use only the supported actions your workflow needs.

  • API Token

Connector access is controlled per service and per action, so a workflow does not need broader access than the work you ask it to do.
