Edit Mapping Unit

Overview

The Mapping Unit is an action unit in the Flow Editor/Designer that enables a flow to transform, map, and structure data between different formats or schemas during execution.

What it does:
  1. Converts input data into the required output format.
  2. Maps fields between:
    1. Different data models (e.g., JSON → XML).
    2. Different systems (e.g., ERP → CRM).
  3. Can apply transformations (e.g., rename fields, change data types, apply formulas).
How it works:
  1. Input: Data from a previous step (e.g., API response, database record).
  2. Mapping Logic:
    1. Define source fields and target fields.
    2. Apply transformations if needed (e.g., amount * 1.18 for tax).
  3. Output: Structured data ready for the next unit (e.g., HTTP Call, Component Unit).
Use case:
  1. API Integration: Map fields from an external API response to your internal schema.
  2. Document Workflow: Map extracted OCR data to a standardized format.
  3. Data Migration: Convert legacy system data to the new system format.
