Step 6: Add Transforms and Map Data
Next, you have the option to use transforms to clean up any of the data returned by the API before loading it into Yext. For a full list of available transforms, see the Transforms reference.
After adding any transforms, the last step is to map each of the elements you extracted from the API request to fields in Yext.
To do this, you will need to select the entity type that corresponds to the data you are pulling in via the connector. In this example, we would choose the Help Article entity type.
Once you select your entity type, the Map Fields screen will show you a table of your data.
All fields that display in the dropdown are fields on the Help Article entity type (or the entity type you selected in the first step). The Validation column displays the validation status for each field.
If you see any warnings, you can still choose to proceed with running your connector, but any entities that have errors will fail to be created or updated.
Once you click Save you will be prompted to name your connector. Then, you can click Save or Save & Enable Now (if you want the Connector to run the next time it receives a request). You can also enable the Connector later (see Step 7).
