Given an object, looks up the object with that ID. You must select the type of object to lookup.

Input field description

• SugarCRM module to lookup - dropdown list where you should choose the module, which you want to lookup. E.g. Accounts.

• Pass binary data to the next component (if found object has it) - a checkbox, if it is checked and found object has a binary field (type of file) then its data will be passed to the next component as a binary attachment.

Lookup Objects

Lookup a list of objects satisfying specified criteria.

Input field description

• SugarCRM module to lookup - dropdown list where you should choose the module, which you want to lookup. E.g. Accounts.

• Output method - dropdown list with following values: Emit all, Emit page, Emit individually.

• Number of search terms - text field where you can specify a number of search terms (not less than 0 and not greater than 99). Default value is 0 (if provided value is not allowed).

Metadata description

Depending on the configuration field Output method the input metadata can contain different fields:

Output method - Emit page:

Field Page size - required positive integer that defaults to 1000;

Field Page number - required non-negative integer (starts with 0, default value 0);

Output method - Emit all: Field “Maximum number of records” - optional positive integer (default value 1000);

Output method - Emit individually: Field Maximum number of records - optional positive integer (default value 10000);

Please note that the number of records the component emits may affect the performance of the platform/component.

Groups of fields for each search term go next:

Field Field name - string represents module’s field (a list of allowed values is available);

Field Field value - string represents value for selected field;

Field Condition - one of the following: =, !=, <, <=, >, >=, STARTS WITH, ENDS WITH, CONTAINS, IS NULL, NOT NULL, IN, NOT IN;

Between each two term’s group of fields:

Field Logical operator - one of the following: AND, OR;

Output data depends on the configuration field Output method:

• Emit page, Emit all - an array of records;
• Emit individually - a record;

Delete Object By ID

Given an object, deletes the object with that ID. You must select the type of object to lookup.

Upsert Object By ID

Update an existing entry if the id provided. Otherwise create a new entry. You must select the type of object to lookup. Input metadata is fetched dynamically from your SugarCRM account. Output metadata is the same as input metadata, so you may expect all fields that you mapped as input to be returned as output.

Input fields description

• Module - Input field where you should choose the object type, which you want to find. E.g. Note.

• Utilize data attachment from previous step (for objects with a binary field) - a checkbox, if it is checked and an input message contains an attachment and specified object has a binary field (type of file) then the attachment is put into object’s binary field.

Limitations

When Utilize data attachment from previous step (for objects with a binary field) is checked and this action is used with Local Agent error would be thrown: ‘getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND steward-service.platform.svc.cluster.local steward-service.platform.svc.cluster.local:8200’.

In the Developer mode a request can be built utilizing all features by providing a JSON object (for more information go to the link above). E.g.:

{
  "filter": [{

        "$and": [{
            "billing_address_country": {
