🤔 What is the Retrieved Value?

A "Retrieved Value" refers to data that is obtained through triggers or operations within Yoom. These values are then used in subsequent operation settings and can change each time the Flowbot is run.


📍 Example of Using Retrieved Values in Operations

Here’s an example of how you can use a previously obtained output in the next steps of your Flowbot.

While this is just one example, the process of using outputs in flowbot creation is consistent across all use cases.

1. Example Flowbot to Use

We’ll walk through an example where a Flowbot adds data to the Yoom database based on information entered into a form, like the one shown below.

2. Form Setup

In this example, we've pre-filled the form with test data for demonstration purposes.

3. Setting Up Outputs in the Yoom Database

To use the form’s output in the Yoom database, go to the "Add Record" operation within the Yoom database settings. From there, click the relevant header item and select "Inquiry Form" from the menu. Then, choose the item name you want to use from within the form.

When the Flowbot is run, the database will be populated with the relevant values as shown below.


💡 Tips

  • You can use outputs to dynamically change values. For example, this could include things like inquiry emails, record IDs, or form responses.

  • It’s also possible to combine retrieved values with directly entered text. For instance, you could have something like "##{{Contact Person}}" (Dear ##{{Contact Person}}). However, depending on the data format, this may not always be possible.

  • If a retrieved value name overlaps with another operation, it will be overwritten by the output value of the last operation.

  • If the values you need aren’t included in the retrieved value items, you can add them by pressing the "Test" button on the operation setup page and selecting the values from the response result.

  • You can add the desired values by clicking the "+" button next to the value you want to include.
