In business automation
Mapping is where business meaning meets technical structure. Identify whether a field is an ID, label, amount, or date instead of relying on similar-looking names.
Examples
These examples illustrate a possible workflow. Adapt the connections and rules to your own systems.
Business process example
A form sends a free-text service value, while the CRM expects a service code. A mapping table converts recognized values, and a new value is sent for review instead of receiving an incorrect default code.
