The reliability of the system is bolstered as clean data ensures smoother operations and reduced instances of errors.
How it works?
Impler’s Data Cleaning operates seamlessly within the import widget, comprising four distinct phases: Upload, Map, Review, and Complete. The Review phase, where data cleaning occurs, allows users to identify and rectify errors in the data before finalizing the import process.
During the Review phase, the imported data undergoes a validation process, both static and dynamic. Any identified errors prompt users to update the data, ensuring alignment with developer-defined schemas and dynamic validation codes if provided.
Once the user resolves the flagged issues, the data again passes from the validation phase to ensure accuracy. Upon successful validation, the cleaned data seamlessly proceeds to the application via webhook integration, ensuring the reliable transfer of error-free data.
