The sample workflow is bound to a list named Customers. After the user enters a value for CustomerID, they can manually run the workflow. The workflow uses the CustomerID to search for the customer using the public Northwind sample OData service ( http://services.odata.org/Northwind/Northwind.svc/ ).
When it finds the customer, it adds the details it retrieves from the service to the list item and then concludes.
