This page walks through creating a Custom Field from the Bindbee Dashboard. For the concepts (what Custom Fields are, organization vs connector scope) see the Custom Fields overview. For the programmatic equivalent, see API Configuration. Creating a Custom Field from the dashboard is a two-step process. Step 1: Create New Field Step 2: Configure Field Mappings

​
Step 1: Create New Field

  • Click the “New Field” button in the top right corner
  • Fill out the necessary details in the dialog.
  • Click “Create”
Name of custom field must be unique and naming should follow snake_case

​
Step 2: Configure Field Mappings

After creating the field, you’ll be redirected to the mapping configuration screen where you can set up both Connector Level and Organization Level mappings.

​
Connector Level Mapping

  • Click on “Connector Level”
  • Select your connector from the Dropdown
  • Fill or Select Data field box, you can choose either
    • Select Mapping from Options
    • Click the </> button to view the raw JSON response and click the desired field
    • Enter the JSON Path(JMESPath) expression directly
If your JSON Path (JMESPath) expression is incorrect, then while requesting the custom_fields via APIs, you will not receive an error. Instead, the API will respond with "INVALID_JSON_PATH" mapped to the incorrectly configured field. Ensure that all JMESPath expressions are valid to retrieve the intended data correctly.

​
Organization Level Mapping

  • Click on “Organization Level”
  • Select your integration from the Dropdown
  • Fill or Select Data field box, you can choose either
    • Select Mapping from Options
    • Click the </> button to view the raw JSON response and click the desired field
    • Enter the JSON Path(JMESPath) expression directly.
You can add multiple mappings to a single custom field by clicking the “Add New” button and repeating the process for different connectors or integrations.
