## Description[​](#description "Direct link to Description")

The **result placeholder** component generates a "mock" result that can be used by subsequent steps in an integration. This is handy for situations where integration developers are waiting on development of a custom component or for third-party teams to create an environment for testing. Integration designers can add a result placeholder step to fill in for another component until the other component is ready to be tested.
