Prior to consumption by an action, imports can be modified in different ways. These modifications are called 'transforms', or ['personalizations'](https://bip.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/502740-personalizing-your-integrations) in the UI. As a message is pushed through a graph, an object is built containing exports from visited nodes which can be plucked out with [JSONPath](http://goessner.net/articles/JsonPath). Using these JSONPath expressions and a simple [templating system](https://github.com/bipio-server/bipio/wiki/Transforms-And-Templates), imports can be composed as you like.

#### A note on files
Received or fetched files are not present as explicit imports/exports but rather appear on a graph as they become available. Certain actions will operate with the assumption that these files are present eg: Dropbox > Save File will only run when a file is present.

The API is namespaced as RESTful resources, and RPC's with `/rest` and `/rpc` respectively. [JSONP](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSONP) is supported with a `callback=your_function` GET parameter.
