Transforming data

Appizap Workflow Builder utilizes a predetermined data format that enables each node to accurately handle incoming data. If the data structure of the incoming information differs, it will be necessary to modify it so that each item can be processed separately.

The image displayed below exemplifies the result of an HTTP Request node outputting data that is not aligned with Appizap Workflow Builder's data format. The node processes the data and indicates that only a singular item has been returned.

To transform this kind of structure into the Appizap Workflow Builder data structure you can use the data transformation nodes:

  • Aggregate: take separate items, or portions of them, and group them together into individual items.

  • Limit: remove items beyond a defined maximum number.

  • Remove Duplicates: identify and delete items that are identical across all fields or a subset of fields.

  • Sort: organize lists of in a desired ordering, or generate a random selection.

  • Split Out: separate a single data item containing a list into multiple items.

  • Summarize: aggregate items together, in a manner similar to Excel pivot tables.
