Alternative fields for mapping in the REST Connector

[anandshahgrange]

Reference: REST Connector - CREATEACCOUNTJSON

We have a requirement where business needs Accounts created with Preferred Name when it is available.

If preferred name is not available, then we need to use First Name for provisioning new accounts.

I did not find any specific information regarding this in the Docs portal or forums.

How do I specify alternative fields for mapping in the REST Connector JSON for CreateAccount?

Hi @anandshahgrange 

You can make use of the if-else condition to achieve your use case. Attaching a sample snippet below 

{\"field\": \"${(user.preferedFirstName) !=null? '+ user.preferedFirstName +':'+ user.firstname +'}}

Thank you

Vedanth,

This solution is not working correctly. See the attached image.

{\"field\":\"${if(user?.preferedFirstName !=null){user?.preferedFirstName}else {user?.firstname}}\"}

Rushikesh,

Have you tested this solution?

This are standard if else condition in REST connector.
