Workflows

Trigger and query workflows using the Nexthink API, giving you the flexibility to create and visualize metrics using third-party software.

Setting up API credentials

To set up an integration with the Nexthink API, you must first create a set of API credentials in your instance that the external application or service uses to access the Workflows API. Refer to the API Credentials documentation.
