How to Configure

1. Action Name: Give your custom code step a name that reflects its purpose.
2. Language: By default, this is set to JavaScript but you can select Python too from the dropdown
3. 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 is number1, you can access it in the code as inputData.number1.
4. Code:
   • Write JavaScript/Python code to process the values mapped in the previous step.
   • Ensure the output is in the form of a JavaScript/Python object or array of objects. Example: output = { result: sum }.

Example

javascript
Copy 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.
