Set worker input fields
Updated September 21, 2026 · 1 min read
Define typed input fields so Zentesimal maps spreadsheet rows, JSON, or free text into them before the worker runs.
Open Incoming data
- Open a worker 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 worker 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 worker 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 worker.
