Custom Action examples

Custom Action has multiple use cases. Here are two examples showing how to work “Custom Action” Does.

Data Field Mapping

1. Mapped data according to field keywords
2. Keywords came from the trigger that you received at the top

Nested Data Field Mapping

1. Defined an empty array
2. Fill the array with your data fields

Find the keywords

If you don’t know what kind of data you received from the trigger & and don’t know the keywords then you send your whole trigger into API or HOOK and find the keywords from the output result.

HOOK

API

Use Cases Example

1. Data sent into the hook
2. Data sent into API

Use Cases #1: Data sent into the hook

1. Map data
2. Define the hook
3. Put mapped data into the hook

Use Cases #2: Data sent into the API

        'Content-Type: application/json', // Set content type to JSON
        // Add other headers if required
    ));
