Retrieve parameter from a SOAP request in a workflow

Top of my head, try

logInfo(vars.email)

Here is an scenario

You can post variables from a webapp to a workflow

xtk.workflow.PostEvent("wkfInternalName", "mysignal", "", <variables id={latestEntry.Records.@id} status={ctx.vars.status} type={ctx.vars.type} serviceType={ctx.vars.serviceType} participation={ctx.vars.participation} category={ctx.vars.category} distribution={ctx.vars.distribution} proof={ctx.vars.proof} />, false);

Then in the workflow javascript you can log what was posted from the webapp

logInfo(vars.status);

Hi,

Is there a way to read "child" tags under the <variables> tag, within JS of a workflow?

e.g.

<variables>

     <product>

          <name>XYZ</name>

          <quantity>2</quantity>

     </product>

</variables>

using vars.XXX, will read properties of <variables> tag only but in case of more complex values to read, can above be possible?

(vars.product.name: doesn't work..)

@dattarays70361342 Start playing with the following, should give you an idea.

var payload = <rtEvent>
              <ctx>
                <recipient>
                  <firstName>David</firstName>
                  <lastName>Garcia</lastName>
                </recipient>
              </ctx>
              </rtEvent>
vars.fullName = payload.ctx.recipient.firstName+" "+payload.ctx.recipient.lastName;
logInfo(vars.fullName);

Thanks David

- rtEvent API is quite flexible/standard, it accepts XML structure and XML is as-is accesible within message templates, no issue with rtEvent API

- The issue is with "PostEvent" API of the xtk:workflow which accepts i/p parameters only within <variables /> tag.

The <variables /> tag properties I can read with vars.xxx way but if the parameters are going to hold multiple values, how do we handle them? (using "comma" separated values is not reliable and doesn't provide much flexibility) hence I am trying to check if what I am trying to send in "PostEvent" <variables> ... </variables> tag as child tags, can they be accessed within workflow JS code?

PushEvent XML extract:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:urn="urn:xtk:workflow">

   <soapenv:Header/>

   <soapenv:Body>

      <urn:PostEvent>

         <urn:sessiontoken>XXXX</urn:sessiontoken>

         <urn:strWorkflowId>WKF1028</urn:strWorkflowId>

         <urn:strActivity>signal</urn:strActivity>

         <urn:strTransition></urn:strTransition>

         <urn:elemParameters>

    <variables>

         <product>

              <name>XYZ</name>

              <quantity>2</quantity>

         </product>

         <product>

              <name>PQR</name>

              <quantity>1</quantity>

         </product>

     </variables>

    </urn:elemParameters>

         <urn:bComplete>0</urn:bComplete>

      </urn:PostEvent>

   </soapenv:Body>

</soapenv:Envelope>

how to read product details from the above postevent within workflow JS, using vars.xxx?

Got the solution, thanks.
