2.15What if we need Account + Contact?

Now we start getting closer to real Mule work.

Input:

{
  "customerId": "CUST-10042",
  "companyName": "Acme Corporation",

  "contact": {
    "firstName": "John",
    "lastName": "Smith",
    "email": "john@acme.com"
  }
}

We need:

Account
   ↓
Contact

where:

Contact.AccountId = Account.Id

Possible flow:

HTTP Listener
      ↓
Save original request
      ↓
Transform Account
      ↓
Upsert Account
      ↓
Save account ID
      ↓
Transform Contact
      ↓
Upsert Contact
      ↓
Response

This introduces another very important Mule pattern:

payload
↓
save result into variable
↓
change payload
↓
continue
