Label
Required. The name for the Snap. You can modify this to be more specific, especially if you have more than one of the same Snap in your pipeline.
Snap Execution
Select one of the three modes in which the Snap executes. Available options are:
Validate & Execute: Performs limited execution of the Snap, and generates a data preview during Pipeline validation. Subsequently, performs full execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during Pipeline runtime.
Execute only: Performs full execution of the Snap during Pipeline execution without generating preview data.
Disabled: Disables the Snap and all Snaps that are downstream from it.
Default Value: Execute only Example: Validate & Execute
Example
Combine data without any matching key or condition using Union Snap
This example pipeline demonstrates how to append records from multiple sources without needing a matching key between two files using the Union Snap. It combines order information, that is items and costs with the customer details. The pipeline comprises two segments, each independently generating JSON data, which are then merged with a Union snap.
Configure the JSON Generator Snap with input data as shown below.
Customer Details (JSON Generator)
Item & Cost (JSON Generator)
Generates JSON data with customer information, including customer IDs, names, email addresses, and mailing addresses.
Generates JSON data with order information, including order IDs, customer IDs, order dates, and item details such as item IDs, names, quantities, and prices.
Next, connect the Union Snap to the upstream Snaps. The Union Snap combines the output from both JSON Generator snaps, merging the order and customer data into a single stream.
Upon validation, the Snap displays the following joined output as a result of providing a consistent input schema. Note that though the customer_id is common for both the input Snaps here, the Union Snap simply appends the data from both of them.

Added the PipeLoop Snap that enables you to loop on pipeline executions based on a stop condition or iteration limit. The execution workflow of this Snap enables the parent pipeline to control and manage iterative processes using the child pipeline, for scenarios where repeated processing is needed until a specific stop condition is met.

When the Router Snap was the first Snap in a triggered task, the documents were not processed. Previously, the response contained a 200 status code but was empty. Now, it processes one document and provides non-empty output.
Behavior change:
Previously, the Router Snap generated no output without an input document. Now, the Snap generates an empty document when no input document is provided.
