Suggest Routing (Before)

This action manipulates the HTTP request or response before the Suggestion operation occurs in Kibo. Note that Kibo must have enabled Order Routing extensions in your tenant settings first, otherwise you will encounter a validation error. 

Action Type	HTTP
Full Action ID	http.commerce.routing.suggestion.before
Runs multiple custom functions?	Yes

JavaScript File Structure

Action files share the following basic structure:

module.exports = function(context, callback) {
   // Your custom code here
   callback();
};

When you code the custom function for an action, you have access to two arguments:

callback—This argument follows the established JavaScript callback pattern: it takes an error as the first argument (or null if there is no error) and a result as the second argument (if required).

context—This argument provides the function access to relevant objects and methods that interface with Kibo.

Context: HTTP

The following methods and objects are available to this action through the use of the context argument.

REST API Operation
This action corresponds to the /commerce/orders/orderrouting/api/v1/routing/suggestion operation.
