Create an authentication profile. Application Integration uses an authentication profile to connect to an authentication endpoint for the Language - Classify Text task.
The Integrations page appears listing all the integrations available in the Google Cloud project.
Select an existing integration or click Create integration to create a new one.
If you are creating a new integration:
Enter a name and description in the Create Integration pane.
Select a region for the integration.
Select a service account for the integration. You can change or update the service account details of an integration any time from the infoIntegration summary pane in the integration toolbar.
Click Create. The newly created integration opens in the integration editor.
In the integration editor navigation bar, click Tasks to view the list of available tasks and connectors.
Click and place the Language - Classify Text element in the integration editor.
Click the Language - Classify Text element on the designer to view the Language - Classify Text task configuration pane.
Go to Authentication, and select an existing authentication profile that you want to use.
Optional. If you have not created an authentication profile prior to configuring the task, Click + New authentication profile and follow the steps as mentioned in Create a new authentication profile.
Go to Task Input, and configure the displayed inputs fields using the following Task input parameters table.
Changes to the inputs fields are saved automatically.
Task input parameters
The following table describes the input parameters of the Language - Classify Text task:
