Execution Flow​

Real-Life Examples​

Here are some practical ways you can use the "Get code from a Check box field" action:

Example 1: Tracking User Preferences​

Imagine you have a user profile page where users can select their preferences using checkboxes, like "Receive Newsletter" or "Enable Dark Mode." You want to get the unique identifier for the "Receive Newsletter" checkbox to use in a workflow that updates user settings.

  • Inputs:
    • UI element: The "Receive Newsletter" Check box field on the user profile page.
    • Result: newsletterCheckboxID (a variable to store the code)
  • Result: The unique code associated with the "Receive Newsletter" checkbox (e.g., "NL_OPT_IN_CHK") is stored in the newsletterCheckboxID variable. You can then use this variable in subsequent actions, like updating a user's preference in a database.

Example 2: Dynamic Form Validation​

You're building an order form, and there's a "Agree to Terms and Conditions" checkbox. You need to get its unique code to dynamically enable or disable the "Submit Order" button based on whether this checkbox is checked.

  • Inputs:
    • UI element: The "Agree to Terms and Conditions" Check box field.
    • Result: termsCheckboxCode (a variable to store the code)
  • Result: The unique code for the "Agree to Terms and Conditions" checkbox (e.g., "T_AND_C_AGREE") is saved in the termsCheckboxCode variable. You can then use this code to reference the checkbox's state in a conditional logic action.

Example 3: Integrating with an External System​

Your application allows users to select features for a custom product using checkboxes. When a user selects a feature, you need to send its unique identifier to an external inventory management system.

  • Inputs:
    • UI element: The "Add Engraving" Check box field.
    • Result: engravingFeatureCode (a variable to store the code)
  • Result: The unique code for the "Add Engraving" checkbox (e.g., "FEAT_ENGRAVE_001") is stored in the engravingFeatureCode variable. This code can then be passed to an API call action to update the external system.
