Defining Custom Actions

Developers can add bulk action functionality to the importer using Custom Actions. See the preview below for an example.

​

addCustomAction

The addCustomAction function accepts an object as an argument with the following properties:

• action_type (String) - required: Currently must be set to “record”.
• name (String) - required: A succinct description of the action.
• handler (Function) - required: A function that takes a record and manipulates it when the action is performed.

​

Example Code

const importer = new FuseImporter();

importer.getSessionToken = ... // see https://fuse-docs.flatirons.com/getting-started/sessions


importer.addCustomAction({
  actionType: "record",
  name: "Generate ID",
  handler: (record) => {
    record['id'] = Math.random();
    return record;
  }
});

importer.show();

What a custom action called “Generate ID” would look like.
