Summary
NOTE: This data encoder passes the data to the profile's
_datainput as plain text.
Some Lobster Integration profiles expect unstructured text. For this case, choose the Text data encoder. This reference describes its output format for integration specialists and IT admins.
Purpose
The Text data encoder passes the data to a Lobster Integration profile as plain text. The encoder adds no structure and no format information. The target profile receives the data at the _data input.
In the Call profile behavior, you select the encoder using the value TEXT.
Difference from other data encoders
The XML data encoder and the JSON data encoder produce a structured format. The Text data encoder passes the content without structure instead.
If the target profile needs to evaluate individual fields, choose a structured format. If the text always stays the same, choose the Static text data encoder.
Counterpart: Text data decoder
The Text data decoder reads the profile's response as plain text. Together, the encoder and decoder form the outbound and return path of the data transfer.
