Note You can edit or delete connections only in the Automation app.

## Connections

Connect to a source or target system by using its standard connection or an existing external named credential. You can connect to multiple systems within a flow and reuse each connection. You can create connections in the [Integrations tab](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.automate_ala_connections.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "The Integrations tab includes a list of all the connections for your org.") or in Flow Builder.

**Standard Connection**

This system uses Bearer authentication.

Bearer authentication sends a header named Authorization with a value of Bearer and a token with every request.

This system requires this credential information for its [connections](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.automate_ala_connections_create_connection.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5).

**Named Credential Connection**

Select a pre-existing named credential from Setup to use for your external system connections.

Before connecting to your external system with a named credential, first create or use an existing authenticated [named credential and external credential that is enabled for your users.](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.nc_named_creds_and_ext_creds.htm&type=5&language=en_US)

To ensure a successful [connection](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.automate_ala_connections_create_connection.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Select a named credential from Setup to use for your external system connections.") for use in a flow, use only one principal for each named credential.

- Use the same name for the named credential and its related objects, such as the external credential and external authentication identity providers. Labels for these objects can differ.
- Assign the user creating the connection the required user permission for the principal. Without this permission, the connection test fails and the connection remains inactive.

![Important](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-platform_automation-264-0-0-production-enus/60568438-ec7e-4665-acd1-7c80dcbe60d5/images/icon_important.png)

Important

When you create a connection with an existing named credential, note these behaviors:

- Manage the named credential’s read-only details in Setup, not the Integrations tab. On the Integrations tab, you can only edit the connection's Connection Name and Description.
- Perform reconnections for the named credential in Setup. The Reconnect button isn’t visible on the Details page.
- Delete associated named credentials in Setup. Deleting a connection doesn't remove the credential.

## Actions

An action performs a specific task or operation within a target system. Use actions to automate tasks across different systems without manual intervention, based on conditions set in the flow. For more information about actions, refer to [Create a Flow with a Connector as an Action](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.automate_build_flow_esct_third_party_as_action.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "To integrate your flow with an external system, add MuleSoft for Flow: Integration connectors as actions to all existing flow types. You can add connectors to flows that trigger external system changes, records, schedules, Data Cloud-triggered flows, or autolaunched flows.").

These Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center actions are available in Flow Builder.

- Create Multiple Access Rule
- Create Multiple Network Object
- Delete Network Object
- Get Access Rule
- Get All Audit Model
- Get All Network Object
- Update Access Rule
