Send results of specific workflow task to email

kimberly_mirkes — Thu, 21 Mar 2024 18:59:13 GMT

I posted this in the wrong forum. Meant to post to Developer Forum.

I love the "send email" action that I can now incorporate into a workflow. However, I'm wondering if there's a way to send results from a specific task, through email.

Use case:

Run HTTP synthetic monitor from workflow Task 1

Gather specific results everyone on the team wants to see Task 2

Send results of Task 2 through the send email action

Open email - see results from Task 2 in message: url, responseCode, responseBody, etc

Currently when I get the email, it just sends a link to the workflow. Not everyone on the team will have access to the workflow, but all members will want to see the results.

Hi @kimberly_mirkes

you have to access the result of a previous task via jinja expressions.

Here you have an example of how I am accessing my demo workflow results of a previous action. My preceding task was actually just a http request to the https://swapi.tech/ api.

Best,
Sini

Oh, excellent; thank you Sini! I will give that a try.

Thanks again Sini,

This works. I just need to truncate the response body I'm trying to send, as it exceeds the 5,000 char limit.
