Step 6: Add Transforms and Map Data

Next, you can optionally add 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 doc .

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 you would like to create or udpate with the data you are pulling in via the Crawler.

Once you select the desired entity type, the Map Fields screen will show you a table of your data.

map fields

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. Note that 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 are prompted to name your connector — in this example, we will name it “Custom Articles Connector.”

Click Save & Run Now. You should now see your Help Article entities have been added to Content.
