void picky_assist()
{
	// Data to be passed in raw_data
	raw_data = Map();
	raw_data.put("key","123");
	raw_data.put("gloabl_num","12323");
	// Create a variable to hold the headers that is required
	header_data = Map();
	header_data.put("Content-Type","application/json");
	// Put the Picky Assist Connector URL
	response = invokeurl
	[
		url :"https://yourconnectorurl.here"

	];
}
