What is the first step in using Survey Flow Web Services for API requests?

The first step in using Survey Flow Web Services for API requests is to add a new Web Service element in the Survey Flow. This is fundamental because establishing the Web Service element is essential to initiating the connection between the survey and the external service. By creating this element within the Survey Flow, you set the foundation for configuring the specifics of the API request, including the endpoint, headers, and method of communication.

Once the Web Service element is in place, you can then proceed to configure authentication, draft user access lists, and gather stakeholder requirements, but these actions depend on having that initial element established. The Web Service element serves as the central point in your survey’s structure for implementing API requests effectively.
