Custom scripting

Introduction

'Out of the box', Patchworks pulls data from a source system and pushes it into a destination system, using field mappings to decide where each item of source data should be placed in the destination system.

Patchworks provides default mappings that can be adjusted if needed, and a comprehensive set of transform functions that can be used if your source data doesn't quite slot neatly into the destination.

However, requirements for manipulating source data can be more complex than any standard set of transform functions can handle. If this is your position and you have developer experience in-house, custom scripting can be used to write and maintain your own scripts.

Using our integrated editor with IntelliSense, you can get as complex as you need with a choice of coding languages.

How are custom scripts used?

Once a script is deployed, it can be selected for use in process flows via:

Script shapes (run a script at any point in a process flow)
Map shapes (add a script transform function to run a script to transform source fields before they are pushed to destination fields)

Additionally, custom scripts can be applied for connector endpoint pagination.
