Code steps are a way to run small snippets of JavaScript as part of your Workflow. Code steps can be used as both triggers, formatter and actions.

Mapping inputData is not available in triggers.

Steps to add code steps to your automation:

  1. In your Code step, you have access to the inputData variable, where all values will be strings. Since the amount of data that might feed into your script might be large or highly dynamic you'll need to define an inputData mapping via our GUI by providing a key and value.

  2. Write javascript code under Code using Keys defined in the earlier step.

  3. Code steps return a single output variable, which is an object or array of objects that will be the return value of this Code. You can explicitly return early if you like.

The environment in which your Code steps run has an I/O limit of 6MB. The total size of the code and the data processed by the Code cannot exceed that. If you're hitting this error, try to limit the amount of data your return from your function.
