Dropdown input based on API
Jonathan Gruber
This is not implemented in Port because waiting for an API that is not controlled by Port may lead to a poor experience (lag etc...)
BUT there is an easy way to achieve the above 😀
Step 1: create a blueprint with the data you want to represent
Step 2: Ingest this data from your API endpoint (can be a daily cron job)
Step 3: use Entity Selection to pick the data from the list
Also using Port's data model to represent dropdown input opens more use cases with smarter logic that a dry list from API.
Hope it helps 😁

Jonathan Gruber The proposed "easy" way doesn't support the scenarios where we need to pull live data!

Vida Tahmasebi indeed you are right
Could you share the data source ?
If it supports event based webhooks we could keep the data refreshed in Port maybe?
