How to create a Capsule

Follow these steps to create a Capsule:

  1. On the Build page, click the Capsules tab.

  2. Click the Create button in the upper right corner.

  3. Select the Create Capsules option.

How to configure a Capsule

Inside the Capsule, click the gear icon in the upper right corner of the page (next to the Save button) to begin configuring the Capsule.

A side page with the Capsule configuration will open. The page contains three tabs: Form, Documentation, and Contract.

On the right side, you will see the Form preview. It shows you how the form will be displayed for the end user when they configure the Capsule in a pipeline.

Note that changes to the Capsule configuration form are considered a breach of contract. Therefore, these changes may affect the Capsule being developed and the pipelines using the Capsule. Please review your flow after making changes to the Capsule configuration form.

Form tab

On the Form tab, you can add parameters and account variables to your Capsule form.

If you want to delete a parameter or account, click the trash can icon and then Delete in the dialog box.

Adding a parameter

A parameter is a customizable setting that allows you to adapt the Capsule's behavior to specific needs and requirements.

For example, all Platform components have some parameters that can be configured to adjust the behavior of the component to the specific needs of the user configuring it. When you create the Capsule, you define the parameters that will be configured when the Capsule is used in a pipeline.

Follow these steps to create a new parameter:

  1. Inside the Form tab, click Add field.

  2. Select the Parameter option.

  3. A new parameter will be displayed in the form. Complete the following fields:

  • Label: the name of the parameter to be displayed in the form.

  • Property: the property of the parameter. The properties must be unique in the Capsule form. If properties are repeated, the Form preview is not displayed and the properties must be corrected.

  • Helper text: the description of the parameter. Use this field to describe in detail what the parameter is used for.

  • Field type: the type of input to add to the form. The options are:

    • Text: a short text input field is displayed on the form.

    • Number: a number input field is displayed on the form.

    • Select: a select field is displayed on the form. To configure the options for the selection, enter each option in the Select options field and press the Enter key to add it to the form.

    • Code: a code field is displayed on the form.

    • Key Value: a key-value pair is displayed on the form.

    • Text Area: an expandable text input field is displayed on the form.

    • Toggle: an on/off switch is displayed on the form.

  • Default value: the value that should be displayed in the parameter by default. Not all types of parameters have a default value.

  1. To make the parameter mandatory in the Capsule configuration, activate the Required option.

Adding an account

In Capsules, when you add an account to the form, you create an account variable. This account variable is set later when the Capsule builder tests the flow in the Execution panel or when the end user configures the Capsule in the pipeline.

In the configuration form of the components within the Capsule, you can only select the account variable that you have configured in the Capsule form. However, if you test the Capsule in the Execution panel or use it in a pipeline flow, you can select any account created in the realm.

Follow these steps to add an account variable:

  1. Inside the Form tab, click Add field.

  2. Select the Account option.

  3. A new account will be displayed in the form. Complete the following fields:

  • Label: the name of the account field to be displayed on the Capsule configuration form.

  • Helper text: a short description about the account to be selected.

Contract tab

On the Contract tab, define the output structure of your custom component in JSON Schema format. This is a configuration that guarantees that the structure of the data from the Capsule execution always conforms to the JSON Schema defined by the Capsule builder.

It’s mandatory to add a JSON Schema to publish the Capsule. A well-defined JSON Schema brings more security for those who use the Capsule.
