Helper

Introduction

Helpers are the features that help to decide the behavior of the automation. You are incorporated in the automation when you have specific requirements for the workflow. By the use of these helpers, you can not only decide the data flow but can also add some impeccable functionalities as per various instances into your automation.

 

If you’re looking for a specific requirement, let us know. We will add the custom task node as per your business requirements. Kindly mail us at support@sapper.ai. We would be glad to provide a personalized experience.

There are the following types of helpers:

The loop task allows you to do a set of actions multiple times, as per the iteration count.
The iteration count depends upon the size of the array (total records count) provided as input to the loop.

 

The conditional task is used to provide conditions into the automation such that if the first condition is satisfied then the other conditions will not be executed.

It usually takes the input in the form of a mathematical statement using equals, less than, or greater than.

 

Branching

The Branching task allows you to create a workflow where a single input is given but multiple tasks could be performed on it in a parallel way. You can have multiple branches in single automation.

 

A conditional branching task is used to provide conditions into the automation such that the conditions will get executed only if they are true, If any condition turns out to be false, the next condition will be checked.

 

Aggregator

The aggregator is used when there are multiple branches. It makes sure that all the branches complete your execution first and then allows the execution of further tasks.

 

The collector task collects the data of a specific task for each iteration of the loop and provides a collective array type output.

 

CSV parser reads and fetches the content of input CSV data and provides a list of all the records for further use.

 

The CSV converter task takes the list of records as input and provides an output in CSV file format.

 

Fixed width parser converts the length of string or a text file content into a group of key-value pairs of the fixed-width (number of characters) as per the given inputs.

 

The transformation task is used to reconstruct a set of data from one form to another. It allows you to transform data using formulae from different sources and get the desired form of output.

 

Script task helps to perform a custom task in the automation using the script provided by you.

 

The logger component allows you to write log messages, which is useful for error or bug detection purposes. You can elect to log errors, notes, info, or warning messages based on the requirements. The core use of the logger is to add single or multiple messages for the end-user of the automation.

 

A webhook response is used to send the information/response that is required in the case of the synchronized webhook triggered automation.
