Scripts Library

Getint Scripts Overview

The scripts library is a repository of user-defined scripts that can be used to modify or enrich data during synchronization. These scripts are written in JavaScript and executed at runtime, allowing for dynamic transformations, conditional logic, and custom field mappings.

By storing scripts in a shared library, they can be written once and used across multiple syncs, reducing setup time, minimizing errors, and allowing users to revert changes if needed. Updates to a script in the library automatically apply to all syncs that reference it, making it easier to manage changes and ensure alignment.

How to Use the Scripts Library

To access the scripts library, navigate to Workflows, then click on the Scripts Library section in the Getint dashboard.

From there, you can:

• Create new scripts using the built-in editor.

• Disable, edit, or delete scripts as needed.

• Test scripts before applying them to live syncs.

Each script can be labeled and described for clarity, making it easier to identify its purpose and usage.

How to Avoid Creating Duplicate Scripts

When working with the scripts library, it’s important to ensure that each function you create is unique. Duplicate functions can cause conflicts and make it harder to maintain your codebase. To avoid this, follow these steps:

• Create a new script: Inside the script, define a function. The script's filename is not critical, but the function name is. Always choose a name that hasn’t been used in other scripts to prevent duplication.

• Save and verify: After saving the script, check the list of scripts. You should see your function name displayed in the second column, which helps confirm that it's distinct and properly registered.

• Use the function consistently: After saving, the script is enabled for use. Call it from any hook using utils.{nameOfFunction}().

• Amend functions when needed: If anything needs to change inside the function, simply update it directly within the script.

• Handle special cases in hooks: For scenarios where you need to do specific things beyond invoking the function, manage those directly in the relevant hooks.

Best Practices

• Keep scripts modular and focused on specific tasks.

• Use clear naming conventions to improve readability.

• Test scripts thoroughly before deployment.

• Regularly review and clean up unused or outdated scripts.

• Review the logs if the scripts are failing.
