When you create or open an import flow step that uses an HTTP-based connector, click Preview request in the Preview panel on the right to preview import requests while configuring flows. Preview request allow you to see the constructed request and a sample record that represents what integrator.io will send to the destination application. You can then send the sample record to generate a response from the destination application, and use the response data as a reference when configuring response mappings.
Note
The import preview request will not be sent to the destination application unless you send a sample request.
Click Preview request to retrieve a sample record to be imported into your destination application. You can use this data as a reference when configuring your import settings to ensure optimum results.
You can directly edit the sample record in Input field to modify the account for alternate record types that might not be represented by the sample record if you haven't yet configured your export, or are unable to retrieve a sample record that contains the right data for your import use case.
When you are satisfied with the sample record's data and structure, click Done.
Note
If your mock data has group records enabled such that the record structure groups records in multiple arrays as follows: [[{ }, { }], [{ }]] the Edit input editor will return an error, but the import will still succeed when you run the flow.
In the Edit input window, click Refresh icon in the upper right corner of the window to see the latest mock input data from the configured flow in the input field. The refreshed data includes the changes made to the flow steps prior to import and it also discards mock input edits without waiting for the session to expire or reseting the mock input.
Click Done. A confirmation message displays once the data is successfully retrieved.
The mock input to be sent to the import application displays as read-only text in the HTTP request section.
Request URL: displays the endpoint that receives the request when the flow runs.
HTTP request: This is the request that integrator.io sends to the import application you are connecting with. You can click Headers to review the information included in the request's header.
Once you are satisfied with the structure of the sample request to send to the import application, you can send the sample record to the import application to generate a response. You can then view the response data to use as a reference when configuring response mappings.
Click Send to import your sample record to the destination application to generate a response.
HTTP response: This is the response returned by the import application. You can also view the headers or any information returned by the response by clicking Headers.
The Parsed output tab allows you to review any platform-processed response data, success and error messages, or any other data returned from the import application. For more information on response mapping, see Response mapping vs. results mapping.
View records in JSON or tree format: You can view and inspect records in the JSON or Tree view format. This flexibility helps to analyze complex payloads, navigate hierarchical structures, and quickly identify the data elements that matter to you.
You can now resize the configuration panel to focus on the section you’re working on and view more data. A drag handle is available between the configuration panel and the canvas area, with a default 50:50 split.You can hold and drag the handle to adjust the panel width. The panel resizes within defined minimum and maximum limits to ensure usability across different screen sizes. The layout remains responsive, the form fields adjust as you resize, and no horizontal scrolling is introduced.
Important
Your preferred width is saved at the account level and applies across all the flow steps.
