File Format Requirements

JSON Format

Base Schema

Every rule import must include these mandatory fields:

{
    "type": "rule-type",      // See rule-specific types below
    "name": "Rule Name",      // Any string
    "status": "published",    // "published" or "pending"
    "inputSchema": {},        // JSON object defining input structure
    "outputSchema": {}        // JSON object defining output structure
}

If no ruleAlias is specified in the import file, one will be generated automatically.

  }
}
