When you design an integration, you drag trigger (source) and invoke (target) adapter connections into the integration. The information required to connect to the application is already defined in the connection. However, you still must specify certain information, such business object, business event, operation, or other elements to use for the request and response and how to process the data. This invokes the Adapter Endpoint Configuration Wizard that guides you through configuration of the adapter connections.

For example, you design an integration that synchronizes customer information between an Oracle Service Cloud (RightNow) application (the trigger) and an Oracle CX Sales and B2B Service application (the invoke) in real time. Whenever an Organization is created in Oracle Service Cloud (RightNow), an AccountService is created in Oracle CX Sales and B2B Service in real time. To achieve this scenario, you define both an Oracle Service Cloud (RightNow) Adapter as a trigger connection and an Oracle CX Sales and B2B Service Adapter as an invoke connection in the Adapter Endpoint Configuration Wizard.
