Common Adaptor

About OpenFn "Common" Language​

Use this adaptor to write JavaScript, or to leverage common expressions and helper functions for OpenFn.

This adaptor is typically used for transforming data in OpenFn workflows that automate "ETL" (extract, transform, load) processes. See below examples.

//use fn() to write your own functions
fn(state => {
  // write javascript...
  // ...to do some things to state
  console.log(state.data); //or to debug
  return state;
});
//use each() to create 1 account for each form
each(
  $.forms,
  create('Account', {
    Kobo_ID__c: $.data.id,
    Name: $.data.customer_name,
    Phone: $.data.customer_phone,
  })
);

I've noticed a problem with this Adaptor, or something is out of date, what can I do?​
