Introduction | Yext Hitchhikers Platform

Using Yext Functions, you can write custom Typescript functions to augment built-in Yext functionality with your own custom logic.

These Functions will be hosted and run within Yext, so you do not need worry about managing a server or runtime environment.

For example, if you would like to perform a transform in your Data Connector that we do not have support for out of the box, you can write a Function that will execute your custom transformation logic and opt to invoke it whenever your Connector is run within Yext.
