You can simply create a custom component and write this code, as soon as you click the save button, the code will get executed automatically because below that we have a preview window ... in order to preview the result ... custom component code will be executed automatically ...

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Hi Aman,

 

Thanks for your response! Much appreciated the help on this.

So I am assuming we need write a custom component even it's for a one time data update? 

If yes, we need to execute the script and then delete the component ? as we won't be needing this after this one time data update/cleanup?

Also, to execute this in prod instance where studio tool is not available, what would be the triggering point for this code in custom component  once we deploy this to production? is it right after a successful deployment of the component?

 

Thank you,

Swetha

    Hi Swetha,

    For Production, we can move this code to an endpoint and can run the endpoint on production using the URL.

    For repeatedly changing the userIds/SsoIds, you can add them to custom content and fetch them from the endpoint.

    Custom Content:  https://prnt.sc/PKATzeuLBNon

    For fetching content/data from Custom Content you can use the below code:

     

    <#assign data = settings.name.get("customcontent.10_text","") />

     

    Note: change custom content number according to your use, currently it is 10 in above code.

    So you just need to run or hit the endpoint URL on production and change the custom content data from Production Admin Settings after every hit.


    Let me know if you have any more questions.
