# Data Parsers

Data parsers for Limio for Salesforce that ingest and transform external data into Limio-compatible formats. Designed to reduce the integration glue code that's typically needed when connecting Salesforce workflows to Limio's subscription platform.

## How it works

Parsers sit between your external data sources and Limio, handling the transformation logic that would otherwise require custom middleware. They normalise incoming data — whether from Salesforce objects, external APIs, or file imports — into the formats that Limio's order processing and catalog systems expect.

## Why it matters

Every Limio for Salesforce implementation involves some degree of data transformation. Standardised parsers mean faster onboarding, less bespoke integration code, and a more predictable path from external data to Limio-ready records. This is particularly valuable for customers with complex Salesforce configurations or multiple data sources feeding into their subscription workflows.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.limio.com/labs/limio-for-salesforce/data-parsers.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
