Connector Matrix

The connector matrix is a useful tool in order to see where you're source content should be synced and how your destination should be set up in relation to content types from source to destination

Setting up content in destination

Setting up your content in the destination relation to the source can be difficult to figure out but with the help of the connector matrix it can be solved pretty easily lets take a look at our source dotcms content

Our dotcms content type

This is our content type in our source a text - text field from dotcms and a wysiwyg named body we can take a look at our content mapper in order to go from dotcms to strapi and see that the Text-text field goes to a short text field in strapi and the wysiwyg goes to a rich text field in strapi

Setting up content mapper

The content mapper can be complex but with the content matrix we can hit that display motation field at the top to a yes and see that the middle column is what you would fill in for the field type often required in content mappers case so lets take a look at our matrix with it on.

We can see that the text - text field type is string and the wysiwyg is wysiyg in order to sync the content over correctly from the source to the destination.
