## Supported integrations

## Query parameters

- **`integrated_account_id`** _(string, required)_
  The ID of the integrated account to use for the request.
- **`truto_response_format`** _(string)_
  The format of the response. - `unified` returns the response with unified mappings applied. - `raw` returns the unprocessed, raw response from the remote API. - `normalized` applies the unified mappings and returns the data in a normalized format. - `stream` returns the response as a stream, which is ideal for transmitting large datasets, files, or binary data. Using streaming mode helps to efficiently handle large payloads or real-time data flows without requiring the entire data to be buffered in memory. Defaults to `unified`.
  Allowed: `unified`, `raw`, `normalized`, `stream`
- **`truto_key_by`** _(string)_
  By default the `result` attribute is an array of objects. This parameter allows you to specify a field in each `result` objects to use as key, which transforms the `result` array into an object with the array items keyed by the field. This is useful for when you want to use the result as a lookup table.
- **`truto_ignore_limit`** _(boolean)_
  Ignores the `limit` query parameter.
- **`truto_ignore_remote_data`** _(boolean)_
  Excludes the `remote_data` attribute from the response.
- **`truto_exclude_fields`** _(array<string>)_
  Array of fields to exclude from the response.
- **`remote_query`** _(object)_
  Query parameters to pass to the underlying API without any transformations. Refer [this guide](https://truto.one/docs/api-reference/overview/querying#remote-query-parameters) to see how to structure the query parameters.
- **`workspace`** _(unknown)_
- **`channel`** _(object)_
  Channel to which the message belongs.
