    Additional Information

    Here is some information to assist you while using the Exact Online Update Snap.

    ...

    The Exact Online Update Snap supports the following:

    • PUT operation to Update data in the Exact Online instance.

    • Display of only the update-compatible input parameter set from the upstream input Snap.

    • Dynamic loading of API metadata with a Parent-child dependency structure. This means that you can:

      • Select an API object from the API Object field to view only entities that are related to the API object and support PUT queries (update operations).

      • And then, select an entity to view and specify values for only update-compatible parameters for input schema.

    Input schema

    The input schema for Exact Online Update Snap: 

    • Use the Payload schema for Exact Online Update Snap to define the input payload for an API call. This dynamically loads and represents all the parameters that you need for creating the data object (payload). 

      • If the upstream Snap can display the entire input schema like Mapper Snap, always select the Payload object in the schema to define your input payload in that Snap.

      • If your input payload is a JSON object, ensure that the text Payload is included as the key in the parent of your input.
