Examples

Reading Account details from an Account

In the following example, we create this Pipeline with Zuora Rest Read Snap and Mapper Snap to read the account details such as contact number, name of the account, and city from an account.

First, we read the data with the help of Zuora Rest Read Snap and segregate the required information with the help of Mapper Snap. 

Configure the Zuora Rest Read Snap to read the information.

Settings


Output view

 Route the output of the Snap into two outputs to read the data as-is using Router Snap and to segregate the required information. Using Mapper Snap, enter the columns name or the parameters you want the Snap to read. 

Settings

Output view

Once the information is segregated in the output, you use the information in ServiceNow Insert Snap.

Reading Contact ID from an Account

In the following example, we create this Pipeline with Zuora Rest Read Snap and Zuora Open API Snap to create an account, link an account to contact, read the details of the contact from the contact data.

First, create an account with a unique ID from the Mapper Snap, link it to a contact, and read the contact data using Rest Read Snap.

We configure the Mapper Snap to add data and send it to the Open API Snap.

Settings

Output view

The details created are sent from the upstream Snap to create a unique account ID using Open API Snap. Following are the Snap settings and the output view:
