Scripting App Builder plugins using C# in Jitterbit App Builder

Developers can create App Builder plugins using C# scripting. C# scripts are compiled with the Roslyn .NET compiler. Each script type defines a set of global members which provide access to objects and services.

Each C# script is associated with a purpose and registered to a Table or Control. Purposes include:

  • Table default, validation and action
  • Control default and visibility
  • REST request and response transformation

Highlights of this feature include:

  • Read/write access to row
  • Read/write access to raw content of incoming/outgoing REST call
  • Access to many C# assemblies and packages that ship with App Builder
  • Ships with your application
