Introducing Custom Actions for Flatirons Fuse

We are excited to announce the addition of a new feature called Custom Actions to Flatirons Fuse.

With Custom Actions, developers can now define their own bulk actions for use within the Fuse CSV Importer.

Introducing Custom Actions

Custom Actions in Flatirons Fuse allow developers to extend the capabilities of our embeddable CSV import tool by adding personalized bulk actions. This feature is designed to provide greater flexibility and customization, putting you in control of how your CSV files are manipulated during the import process.

How It Works

The addCustomAction function is the key to unlocking the potential of Custom Actions. Let’s break down the essentials:

actionType (String) – required:

Specify the type of action, and for now, it must be set to “record.”

name (String) – required:

Provide a clear and concise description of the custom action. This is what users will see when selecting actions during the import process.

handler (Function) – required:

The heart of your custom action! Define a function that takes a record as an argument and manipulates it according to your specific requirements. This is where the magic happens.

Example Code

Let’s take a look at a simple example:

In this example, the custom action “Generate ID” adds a unique identifier to each record during the import process. The possibilities are endless, allowing you to tailor data manipulation to meet your exact needs.

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

Why Custom Actions?

• Tailored Data Handling: Define them to manipulate data exactly the way you need it, ensuring seamless integration with your existing workflows.
• Enhanced Efficiency: Automate repetitive tasks by creating custom actions that streamline your data import processes, saving you time and effort.
• Greater Control: Empower developers with the ability to fine-tune data manipulations, resulting in more accurate and reliable imports.
