import
import { configureSpaceWithOpenAPI } from "@flatfile/plugin-convert-openapi-schema";
listener.js
listener.use(
  configureSpaceWithOpenAPI({
    workbooks: [
      {
        source:
          "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/main/examples/v3.1/webhook-example.json",
