Can a Storyteller expert tell me if it is possible to call an API from Storyteller to M3? We cannot successfully update an XML with the data we need so thought maybe we could call an API so we can output crucial data on our dispatch notes. Thanks.
@kiwi_mg , I moved your question to our Exstream area so that you have the best audience to help.

Hi.
yes it is possible.
a) you need an external component (i.e. java-class.jar) that controls the api-call/api-connection
b) call (a) with variables needed, using the exstream function 'execute' or 'javastaticinvoke'.... depending on the program you are calling...
attached is a couple of examples, and also the java-class
