To configure platform connection references, follow these steps.

  1. On the Intelligent Order Management Welcome and get started screen, select Configure settings > Manage.
  2. For each connection reference, do the following:

    3. To retrieve the connection URL, select the corresponding connection to navigate to that specific connection page, and then copy the URL. For example, if you are setting up the Intelligent Order Management Data Transformer, you need to select the IOM Data Transformer connection on the Power Automate connection page and then copy the Intelligent Order Management Data Transformer connection page URL from your browser's address bar.
    4. Return to the corresponding Intelligent Order Management platform connection reference page and paste the copied URL into the Connection URL field.
