Connect fields with a mapping

Choose the source, target and direction for a field.

Before you start

Use a field mapping to connect two fields. Use an If → Then rule when a condition should determine a new value.

Step by step

  1. Open field mapping

    Go to Settings → Rackbeat + Shopify → Rules and controls. Find Field mapping and select Add mapping.

  2. Choose both fields

    Choose a Shopify field and a Rackbeat field. Use suggested fields where possible. A technical field key must be known and valid in the relevant system.

  3. Check the direction

    For a mapping with a rule, choose Direction. Rackbeat → Shopify uses Rackbeat as source; Shopify → Rackbeat uses Shopify. The source appears first. A plain mapping follows the active data flow.

  4. Choose any value transformation

    If the mapping uses a rule, choose its action and complete the related fields. Check empty-value handling and tag handling where applicable. Use the built-in test when shown.

  5. Save and check one record

    Select Save settings. Check a relevant item or record after the next processing and compare source and target before using the setup broadly.

In practice

Use the original value in a template

With the compose-values action, {{value}} inserts the source value. Example: {{value}}, rackbeat-sync. Check the result and tag handling so that tags you need are preserved.

What you should see afterwards

The fields are connected in the configuration. Transfer also requires the relevant data flow and permissions to be active.

If you get stuck

  • Fields with different data types need extra checking. Text cannot always be written to a numeric or selection field.
  • Shopify metafields need an existing definition. Custom Rackbeat target fields depend on account-specific API support.
