Set Play input fields
Updated November 5, 2026 · 1 min read
Define typed input fields so Zentesimal maps spreadsheet rows, JSON, or free text into them before the Play runs.
Open Incoming data
- Open a Play and go to Settings → Incoming data.
Add a field
- Add a field with a name and type (string, number, or boolean), an optional description, and mark it Required if the Play can't run without it.
Test the mapping
- Use Test incoming data to see how a sample payload maps into your fields before it runs for real.
FAQ
What happens if I don't define any input fields?
The Play receives the raw payload unchanged — no mapping step, no extra model call.
Which field types are supported?
String, number, and boolean, each with an optional description and a required/enabled toggle.
Can I test the mapping before it runs for real?
Yes. Test incoming data shows the shaped payload from a sample input without enqueuing the Play.
