Importing Schemas

You can bring a schema into an application from the Schemas folder, or attach one directly while configuring an activity. The import options are the same in both places; only the starting point differs.

Import into the application​

Use this when you are setting up the application's data structures ahead of building workflows. Select the Schemas folder, then Upload a Schema.

For the full procedure, see Creating Schemas.

Import while configuring an activity​

Use this when an activity needs a schema and you do not already have one in the application. Right-click the folder and select Add Schema, or use the schema control on the activity's input or output configuration.

  • Input — defines the data structure the activity expects to receive.
  • Output — defines the structure of the data the activity passes forward.

The Add Schema modal offers the same options as the Import Schema modal: upload a file, paste content into the editor, search the Schema Registry, or generate from an OpenAPI specification.

How you know it worked​

The schema appears under the application's Schemas folder, and the activity's configuration shows the attached schema's fields.

Next steps​

Once the schema is attached, map data between activities. See Working with Schema References.
