Overview
Applications by UnifyApps provides metadata management capabilities for connected data sources within your automation workflows. This enables you to retrieve aggregation metadata from various data sources, making it useful for understanding data structure and available operations before processing or analyzing information.
Use Cases
Data Source Discovery:
Before building complex data processing workflows, teams can use this action to understand what aggregation capabilities are available across their connected applications, helping them design more effective automation strategies.
Workflow Planning:
Development teams can retrieve metadata from multiple data sources to determine which aggregation functions are supported, enabling them to plan data transformation steps more effectively.
System Integration Analysis:
When integrating multiple applications, this action helps identify common metadata structures and aggregation capabilities across different data sources.
Get Aggregation Metadata for Data Source
The Get Aggregation Metadata for Data Source action in Applications by UnifyApps retrieves metadata information about aggregation capabilities available for specified data sources. This action helps users understand what data operations and transformations are possible with their connected applications.
Input Fields:
Data Sources: Specify the data sources for which you want to retrieve aggregation metadata. This field accepts:
An array of data source identifiers
Multiple data sources can be specified to compare capabilities
Can be left empty or null to retrieve general metadata information
Output:
The action returns metadata information about the aggregation capabilities available for the specified data sources. The exact structure of the output depends on the data sources provided and their individual capabilities.
This action is particularly useful when you need to understand the available data operations before designing downstream processing steps in your automation workflow.
