Integration Procedures versus Data Mappers for health data operations
Key Takeaway
Use a Data Mapper for one focused data job. Use an Integration Procedure for multistep work or external systems, and let it call Data Mappers for the Salesforce part.
Omnistudio Data Mappers and Integration Procedures are the declarative data and logic layers behind Omniscripts and Flexcards. A Data Mapper does one focused job, while an Integration Procedure chains many steps into one server call. A customer design often needs both, so the skill is knowing which work belongs to each.
Where they fit in Omnistudio
Omnistudio has four major components. Omniscripts and Flexcards are the user interface. Data Mappers and Integration Procedures handle data and logic.
Omniscripts present fields, display information and control a user process. They don't do complicated data changes or work with databases or external systems, so they hand that work to Data Mappers and Integration Procedures.
