Represents mandatory fields to execute the workflow

Here’s an example of how the “Get Transaction” activity works –

In the following example, I am continuing from the “Example 2” from the
“Add Transaction” activity. To get a detailed understanding, click here.

Here I am using the “Get Transaction” activity to extract the transaction details such
as the fields and their values, created by, created date, queue name, modified
user’s name and appended batch id and URN etc.

Steps to execute a bot

1.       Create a solution for building a workflow or open an existing solution.

2.       Place the "Get Transaction" activity next to the “Writeline” activity.

a.       It helps to extract the transactions details uploaded in the “Interact” page from
the specified queue on the project.

b.       Using this activity, I am going to extract the transactions details with “BatchID”,
and “URN” resulted as output in “Add Transaction” activity in a Json format for
further executions steps.

3.       Double click on the activity to provide the details to extract the data from the
transactions.

a.       The first field is “QueueName” – Here I am specifying the value as “FetchData”
where the transactions are available in the “Interact” in my project.

b.       Moving to the “AttachmentFieldName”, Here, I am pasting the “AttachmentFieldName”
copied from the “Interact” as “Documents”.

c.       Moving to the “DownloadFilePath” , here I am specifying the path from my
system to save the file which is available in the Interact.

                                                               i.      You can also choose the “FilePath” from the three dots adjacent to it to browse
from the “File System”.

d.       Next, navigating to the “InputParameters”, to pass the input variables to filter
and extract the values from the transaction.

e.       Click on the three dots to open the “Arguments panel”.

i.            Here you have to manually create the Field name and pass the variable
against it.

ii.            Click on the “CreateArgument” option and providing the name as “BatchID”.

iii.            Now, I am providing the variable “BatchID” variable as value here declared
in the “AddTransaction” activity. Click here to refer.

iv.            Next, providing the Argument name as “URN” and value as “URN” variable
declared in the “AddTransaction” activity. 

f.        Navigating to the “JsonData” property in the output field of “Get Transaction”
activity to declare a variable to view the output of the activity.

i.       There are two ways to declare a variable,

ii.      Method 1 – Click on the "ResponseValue" property within the "Get Transaction"
activity and enter the variable name. In this case, we are using " Jdata." Then, press
"Ctrl+Q," which is a shortcut key to create a variable.

iii.      Method 2 - Click on the Variables pane and enter the name "JData" Then, in the
"Variable Types" column, select "String" from the dropdown menu.

4.       Now, placing an “Writeline” activity to view the output from the “Get Transaction”
activity. Below is a sample of the output of the activity, viewed in the log file.

You can also view the output of the activity in the “Log File” if write log activity
has been used to print the output.
