When your automation’s data source is set to SmartSuite, you only need to pass the record ID. All field mapping, line items, and output settings are pulled from the DocsAutomator app automatically.
For setup instructions on connecting SmartSuite to DocsAutomator, see the SmartSuite integration guide.
