To manually start an integration, follow these steps:

1. Open your HTTP client, for example Postman.
2. Send a POST request to http://localhost:8081/collibra.connect.gateway with the correct options. See Manually start an integration: options.

As a result the integration with the given flowId starts and the payload parameter specifies a message that is passed to and interpreted by the integration process.

The following image displays an example of starting the integration process from the Postman REST client.

Instead of manually starting an integration, you can also schedule the start of an integration. See Scheduling the trigger of an integration.
