Action Description
The Custom Code action enables the execution of JavaScript code within a workflow, allowing users to extend the system’s functionality. This action can process data and return output that can be used in the workflow’s subsequent steps.
Action Details
How to Configure
- Action Name: Give your custom code step a name that reflects its purpose.
- Language: By default, this is set to JavaScript. Currently, no other languages are supported.
- Property to Include in Code:
- Add key-value pairs where the key will be used in your code, and the value can either be hardcoded or dynamically mapped from previous workflow steps.
- Use these key-value pairs within the code by referencing
inputData.<key>
. For example, if the key isnumber1
, you can access it in the code asinputData.number1
.
- Code:
- Write JavaScript code to process the values mapped in the previous step.
- Ensure the output is in the form of a JavaScript object or array of objects. Example:
output = { result: sum }
.
Field Name | Description | Mandatory |
Action Name | The name of the action that will be displayed in the workflow. | Yes |
Language | The programming language used for the custom code (default is JavaScript). | Yes |
Property To Include In Code | Fields to be used within the code, mapped from previous steps. Use inputData.keyName to access the values within the code. | Yes |
Code | JavaScript code to perform the desired operation. The output should be a JavaScript object. | Yes |
Example
javascriptCopy code// This is wrapped in an async function
const sum = inputData.number1 + inputData.number2;
// Return the result as a JavaScript object
output = { result: sum };
This example adds two numbers from the mapped properties number1
and number2
and outputs their sum.
