+A dummy plugin is used specifically when we want to use pipeline transformation for a 
+plugin that does not exist.
+
+We can define a rule and template for this plugin by creating a plugin folder and
+place rule for which the pipeline configuration would be valid and a corresponding
+template to transform to when the rule is valid.
+
+For further details on transformation refer:
+/docs/pipeline_configuration_transformation.md
+
+
+For Example:
+
+User Config:
+```yaml
+test-pipeline:
+  source:
+    file:
+      path: "/full/path/to/logs_json.log"
+      record_type: "event"
+      format: "json"
+  processor:
+    - dummy_plugin:
+  sink:
+    - stdout:
+```
+
+Here dummy_plugin is not really a plugin that is defined in dataprepper, but we can 
+use the pipeline transformation to convert the user-config to different config based 
+on the template.
+
+Rule:
+```yaml
+plugin_name: "dummy-plugin"
+apply_when:
+  - "$.test-pipeline.processor[?(@.dummy_plugin)]"
+```
+
+Template:
+```yaml
+test-pipeline:
+  source:
+    file:
+      path: "/tmp/input-file.log"
+  processor:
+    - string_converter:
+        upper_case: true
+  sink:
+    - noop:
+```
+
+Output:
+```yaml
+test-pipeline:
+  source:
+    file:
+      path: "/tmp/input-file.log"
+  processor:
+    - string_converter:
+        upper_case: true
+  sink:
+    - noop:
+```
