Use case

Let's demonstrate how to properly set up a code using Code by UnifyApps. In this example, our automation is triggered via a new mail in our Outlook account. We will capture the subject of the email and extract certain components from it using Regex.

• Start off by defining the input parameters for the code block. In our scenario, we will just need to take in the  subject from the upstream automation.

• Since we are expecting to extract certain elements from the subject, go ahead and define your necessary output parameters.

  

  Note

  Ensure that you are using appropriate casing since these input/output parameters will be used in your code as well. Good practice is to either use snake casing or camel casing for the keys of the variables.

  
  

• Next, we can write the code as required in the editor. We can also expand the editor for easier use.

• Remember to return the desired output statements using a return statement.

  
  
  

  Note

  It is essential to return the output of the code so as to be able to use it in the downstream automation. You have to map the variables in your code against the output parameters defined and then write a return statement.

  
  

• We also have the ability to run the code in an asynchronous mode, i.e., that the workflow won’t wait for the code to finish and simply move on to the next steps.

• Finally, you have to map the input parameters with their respective data pills and the code is then ready to execute.
