Data Services: Data Routing

What is Data Routing?

Data Routing allows an evaluation to pass data returned by one data service to other data services in your workflow.

As an example, services like Sentilink may expect a birth date from another service like Sentilink Complete. In situations like this, Sentilink Complete would need to run first and then use Data Routing to send the birth date to the Sentilink data service for additional processing.
