Overview
Data Mapper is a private Flows360 compatibility draft for @activepieces/piece-data-mapper version 0.3.21.
It provides the execution-verified Advanced Mapping action. The action is read-only and idempotent: it returns the supplied Mapping JSON object after workflow template references inside that object have been resolved by the host runtime.
Use it when a workflow needs to rename, subset or nest existing run values into a clean payload for a later step. It should not be presented as a value-transformation tool: it does not edit strings, convert dates, parse JSON or stringify JSON.

Use Advanced Mapping to return a Mapping JSON object after Flows360 resolves workflow template references. The connector is read-only and idempotent; it does not transform strings, dates or JSON formats.

Setup
No external account, API key or OAuth connection is required.
- Add the Data Mapper connector to a workflow step.
- Select the Advanced Mapping action.
- Provide the required Mapping JSON object.
- Reference values already present in the run by using workflow template references inside the Mapping object.
- Use the returned object in a later workflow step.
This draft remains private and unpublished.
Limitations
This compatibility draft remains unavailable to Studio and WordPress until licence, content and publication review are complete.
Only @activepieces/piece-data-mapper version 0.3.21 is covered by this review candidate.
Only the Advanced Mapping action is supported. The connector has no triggers and no authentication.
Advanced Mapping returns the supplied Mapping object after host runtime template-reference resolution. It must not be documented as transforming values, editing strings, converting dates, parsing JSON or stringifying JSON.
Execution verification applies only to this connector package and action in the CDK deterministic runtime. It must not be used to imply that any other catalogue connector is executable.
Troubleshooting
Why does Data Mapper not ask for credentials?
The Data Mapper piece uses no authentication, so there is no account, API key or OAuth setup step.
Why are my values not being converted or reformatted?
Advanced Mapping returns the Mapping object after host-resolved workflow template references are applied. It is for restructuring existing run values, not for transforming strings, dates or JSON formats.
Which action is available?
Only Advanced Mapping is supported for this private draft. The source piece defines no triggers.
