emite IPaaS Rules

Source

The data or field you want to evaluate

"City", "Status", "ResponseCode", customer.address.zip

• Match the source name exactly to how it appears in your data

• Transform your Source as needed (e.g., to lowercase for case-insensitive checks). Please refer to: emite IPaaS Transformations

• Check if you can reference nested objects (e.g., customer.address.city)

Operator

A predefined list of comparison or matching operators applied to the Source

Available Operators:

• EqualTo checks if the Source value is exactly equal to the Value.

  • Example: Status = "ACTIVE", Operator = EqualTo, Value = "ACTIVE".

• NotEqualTo checks if the Source value is not equal to the Value.

  • Example: Role = "ADMIN", Operator = NotEqualTo, Value = "GUEST".

• GreaterThan checks if the Source value is greater than the Value (numeric, date, etc.).

  • Example: Age = 30, Operator = GreaterThan, Value = "21".

• LessThan checks if the Source value is less than the Value.

  • Example: OrderDate = 2025-01-01, Operator = LessThan, Value = "2025-02-01".

• GreaterThanOrEqualTo checks if the Source value is greater than or equal to the Value.

  • Example: Score = 85, Operator = GreaterThanOrEqualTo, Value = "85".

• LessThanOrEqualTo checks if the Source value is less than or equal to the Value.

  • Example: Temperature = 70, Operator = LessThanOrEqualTo, Value = "70".

• Is is often used as a synonym for “EqualTo,” but especially for booleans (“Is true,” “Is false”).

  • Example: IsVIP = true, Operator = Is, Value = "true".

• IsNot is the inverse of “Is.” Good for negating a boolean or status/flag.

  • Example: IsArchived = false, Operator = IsNot, Value = "true".

• EqualToAny checks if the Source value matches any value in a list.

  • Example: Department = "Sales", Operator = EqualToAny, Value = "Sales, Marketing, Support". Rule passes if Department is "Sales", "Marketing", or "Support".

• Choose the operator that best fits the type of comparison you need (e.g., numeric, text, boolean)

• Consider how to handle null/empty fields. Some operators may fail or skip if the Source is null unless you explicitly define how to handle it.

Value

The comparison value (or list of values for EqualToAny) used with the Operator

Premium (string), 404 (numeric), "true" (boolean), etc.

• Ensure proper formatting. Numeric comparisons require numeric Values; date/time comparisons require date/time strings, etc.

• Check case sensitivity if comparing strings.

Actions

A predefined list of actions the system takes if the condition is met

Available Actions:

• NullResponse: Returns or sets the response to null.

• EmptyResponse: Returns or sets the response to "" (empty string).

• Abort: Stops the entire process or workflow immediately.

• Use Abort for critical failures (e.g., invalid data).

• Abort will prevent all subsequent processing. Only use it where stopping the workflow is indeed necessary.

• NullResponse and EmptyResponse alter what gets returned, which can affect downstream systems expecting different data.

• NullResponse or EmptyResponse can also be used to mask or remove sensitive/unwanted data.
