You can request a vRealize Automation 8.x catalog item with custom forms that use API calls. All examples in this scenario use the Postman API platform.
Obtain a bearer token and refresh token
Retrieve a project ID
Retrieve a list of catalog items by using a project ID
Look up a catalog item that uses a custom form
Run a script action in a custom form to retrieve data
Submit a cloud template request
The forms service API in vRealize Automation 8.1 does not support form execution. You cannot request a catalog item that uses a custom form to capture user inputs. As a workaround, you can use two API calls:
- Form service API to retrieve input data.
- Cloud template API to submit the request.
Note: Cloud templates were previously known as blueprints.
