Use Case
The following activity illustrates on how we can use the get container details activity
to get the details inside a specific container. Here we are going to get the details
from the container “azb”.
Steps to execute the bot
1. Drag and drop an azure scope activity to the workflow.
2. Enter the account name and account key.

4. Click on the activity.
5. Enter a name of the container for which the details are required. Here it is azb
6. Enter the declared variable in the output box of the output segment. Here
it is Text
7. Drag and drop a writelog activity below the azure scope.
8. Enter the above declared variable in the input string of the write log activity and
add.ToString to it as the writelog accepts only string values.

The bot executes the workflow and extracts the details from the specified container
and displays the output using the write log activity.
