Magazine Luiza Companies Create activity

Introduction

A Magazine Luiza Companies Create activity, using its Magazine Luiza Companies connection, creates object data in Magazine Luiza Companies and is intended to be used as a target to consume data in an operation.

Create a Magazine Luiza Companies Create activity

An instance of a Magazine Luiza Companies Create activity is created from a Magazine Luiza Companies connection using its Create activity type.

To create an instance of an activity, drag the activity type to the design canvas or copy the activity type and paste it on the design canvas. For details, see Creating an activity instance in Component reuse.

An existing Magazine Luiza Companies Create activity can be edited from these locations:

The design canvas (see Component actions menu in Design canvas).
The project pane's Components tab (see Component actions menu in Project pane Components tab).

Next steps

After configuring a Magazine Luiza Companies Create activity, complete the configuration of the operation by adding and configuring other activities, transformations, or scripts as operation steps. You can also configure the operation settings, which include the ability to chain operations together that are in the same or different workflows.

Menu actions for an activity are accessible from the project pane and the design canvas. For details, see Activity actions menu in Connector basics.

Magazine Luiza Companies Create activities can be used as a target with these operation patterns:

Transformation pattern
Two-transformation pattern (as the first or second target)

To use the activity with scripting functions, write the data to a temporary location and then use that temporary location in the scripting function.

When ready, deploy and run the operation and validate behavior by checking the operation logs.
