Create Your First Morph

Every morph starts by selecting a template.

You do not create a completely blank morph first. Instead, you choose a starting point and then adjust the morph in the editor before you activate it.

Start from the Morph Dashboard​

Open Morph in the Slynk dashboard.

From here, you can create a new morph.

Choose a Template​

When you click Create Morph, Morph shows the available templates that you can use as a starting point.

There are filters and search tools to help you find the right template.

Use a base template if you want the more blank starting point for a data type.

Use a solution if you want a more pre-configured morph that is already aimed at a particular outcome.

To understand that difference in more detail, see Templates and Solutions.

Review and Customise the Morph​

After selecting a template, Morph creates your morph and opens the editor so you can review it and customise it.

The editor is split into the main areas below and we recommend going through the links below to get an understanding of the settings in each section:

How Morph Works​

Each morph has three core stages:

  1. Fetch Morph fetches the data type defined by the template, for example products, transactions, or customers.
  2. Filter You define which records should pass through.
  3. Actions You decide what should happen to matching records, such as updating data via API or deleting data via API.

When a morph runs, successful actions and successful app runs count toward your plan allowance. You can read more in Actions and Usage.

Simulate Before You Activate​

Before activating a morph, we recommend that you run a simulation first.

A simulation runs against your live data but does not apply the changes. It is a good way to:

  • confirm that the right records pass the filters
  • review the actions that would have been applied
  • estimate action usage before the morph runs live

Activate the Morph​

Before activation, review the summary and confirm that it matches what you want the morph to do.

If you want us to review a Morph, you can use the Request Review action in the edit screen which automatically creates a support ticket on our side for one of our team to have a look at the Morph.
