Publishing¶

Publishing is a critical step in the FeedXChange workflow that makes templates and integrations available for use and execution.

Template Publishing¶

When you finish creating and testing a template, publishing it enables you to use it in integrations. Publishing a template:

• Makes it selectable when creating new integrations
• Validates the template configuration
• Transitions it from "revision" to "published" status

Best Practice: Always test your template with sample data before publishing to avoid unexpected issues.

Integration Publishing¶

Publishing an integration enables it to run and be executed. The publishing process:

• Validates the viability of the connection and template
• Checks that specified file paths are present
• May take up to 10 minutes to complete
• Results in status changes: "Publish Pending" → "Published" (or "Publish Failed")

Editing Restrictions¶

Published items have editing restrictions to maintain system integrity:

• Published templates can be edited only if they're not used by any published integration
• Published integrations must be unpublished before editing
• To edit a template used by a published integration, you must first unpublish the integration

Integration State Management¶

After publishing an integration, you can:

• Pause it to stop scheduled runs without unpublishing (useful for maintenance)
• Resume a paused integration to restart scheduled execution
• Unpublish it (only when paused) to enable editing
