# Glossary

This glossary explains commonly used terms within Sprinto’s Ingestion module.

Use this reference to understand ingestion concepts, workflow terminology, and configuration language used across plans, entities, and webhooks.

---

TermDefinitionAI EditorA conversational workspace that allows you to create or modify ingestion plans using prompts instead of manual configuration.Attached PlanA plan linked to a webhook that determines how incoming payloads are processed.CacheStored step output reused during execution to improve performance and reduce repeated requests.CheckpointA workflow marker that defines execution boundaries inside a plan.CredentialAuthentication information used to connect to an external service or API.Custom FieldA user-defined field added to an entity type to store additional metadata.Data FetchingA category of workflow steps used to retrieve information from external systems.Data ProcessingA category of workflow steps used to transform or restructure incoming data.Data StorageA category of workflow steps used to save or delete entity records.Debug RunA controlled execution mode used to test workflows without running a full production workflow\.EntityA stored record created through ingestion processing.Entity RecordAn individual data instance stored under an entity type.Entity TypeA schema definition that determines how ingestion records are structured.Execution IntervalThe schedule that determines how frequently a plan runs automatically.Filter ExpressionLogic used to decide whether an incoming webhook event should trigger processing.IngestionSprinto’s framework for receiving, processing, and storing external data.JSONATAA query and transformation language used for filtering, mapping, and processing JSON data.OutputA value generated during plan execution that can be referenced after workflow completion.ParameterA reusable input value used within an ingestion plan.PayloadThe incoming request body sent to Sprinto through a webhook or API workflow\.PlanA workflow definition that controls how ingestion data is retrieved, processed, and stored.ProviderA connected integration or external system associated with an ingestion workflow\.Rate LimitingA control that restricts how many requests a webhook can receive within a defined period.Recent EventsA webhook activity log showing received requests and processing outcomes.Reference FieldA field that creates a relationship between one entity type and another.Revision HistoryA log of saved plan versions that allows comparison and rollback.RollbackThe process of restoring a previous plan version.Run HistoryA historical record of plan executions.Runtime ParameterA dynamic value passed into a workflow during execution.StepA single action performed within an ingestion workflow\.Step RangeA debug execution option that runs only a selected portion of the workflow\.Template-Based PlanA plan created from a preconfigured ingestion template.Verbose LoggingDetailed execution logs generated during a run or debug session.WebhookA unique endpoint URL that receives data from external systems.WorkflowThe sequence of steps, logic, and configuration that defines ingestion processing.YAMLA human-readable configuration format used to define ingestion workflows.YAML EditorA direct configuration editor that allows advanced editing of ingestion workflow YAML.
