Response Transformers

The response transformer is a special type of transformer only editable for destination connectors on the Destinations Tab. It works the same as a regular transformer, except that the data being transformed is not the message flowing through the channel, but instead the response payload that the destination connector received from the external system (if applicable). For additional information about transformers, see About Transformers.

A destination response is comprised not only of the response data, but also the status (e.g. SENT, ERROR), status message, and error message. Response transformers can be used to modify these latter pieces as well. For example if a message gets set to ERROR by the destination connector, in the response transformer you can choose to override that and set the status to SENT instead based on some custom logic.
