Custom Action examples

Custom Action has multiple use cases. Here are two examples showing how to work “Custom Action” Does.

Data Field Mapping

If you don’t know what kind of data you received from the trigger & and don’t know the keywords then you send your whole trigger into API or HOOK and find the keywords from the output result.

HOOK

API
