`"params"`

The "params" property is an object that contains an action's parameters. Each action defines its own required and optional properties.

`"transformActions"`

The "transformActions" property is an optional array of "transformAction" objects. It defaults to an empty array.

"inputFields"

The "inputFields" property is a required array containing one or more of the fields in the integration table. The FairCom server sends the value of each of these fields to the transform action as its primary input.

Typically a transform action only needs one input field and the most common input field is "source_payload".
When a transform is applied to an integration table, the server automatically adds missing fields to the table. Thus, any field can be the source of a transform. A transform can only put the result of a transform in a field specially created to hold the transform's output value. In other words, a transform's output field cannot be a field that is built into the table or a field that is being used by another transform.
When a transform has multiple transform actions, you typically daisy chain the "output" field of one transform action to be the input field of another.

"transformParams"

The "transformParams" property is a required object that can be an empty object or contain one or more properties needed by the "transformAction"

"mapOfFieldsToProperties"

The "mapOfFieldsToProperties" property is a required array of "mapOfFieldsToProperties" objects. It defaults to an empty array.

        "mapOfFieldsToProperties": 
        [
        {
          "propertyPath": "In1",
          "fieldName": "In1"
        }
        ]
