REST Connector and hierarchical data

[Ryan Clark]

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to use the REST connector to do some simple PUT/POST updates. This is working great until I attempt to load a value that's an object. Here's a sample PUT that works in Postman:

{

"name":"update",

"address_line1":"1234SomeStreet",

"address_line2":"Suite111",

"city":"Chicago",

"zip":"60610",

"state":{"initials":"IL"}

}

The Scribe REST connector works too until I try to map the State field, then I get an error returned. I must be missing something fundamental but I'm blind to it right now. Any help/examples would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ryan

Hi Ryan,

 

I think using the HTTP and Mapper connector extensions will help you achieve your goal better.

Basically you use the the mapper connector to build out the json example and use the HTTP connector to send that request (post/get etc) to your rest endpoint

 

thanks

Nick
