Get object keys

Function: Get object keys​

This action helps you extract all the attribute names (or "keys") from a structured piece of information, often referred to as an "object." Imagine you have a customer record with fields like "Name," "Email," and "Phone Number." This action would give you a list containing "Name," "Email," and "Phone Number." It's useful when you need to know what information is available within a data structure without knowing the exact fields beforehand.

Input​

  • Object: The structured piece of information (like a record or a collection of data) from which you want to retrieve the attribute names.

Output​

  • Result: A new variable that will hold a list of all the attribute names (text values) found in the input "Object."

Execution Flow​

Real-Life Examples​

Example 1: Inspecting a Customer Record

  • Scenario: You have a customer record and want to dynamically list all the available fields for display or further processing.
  • Inputs:
    • Object: Customer_Record (e.g., \{"FirstName": "Alice", "LastName": "Smith", "Email": "[email protected]", "CustomerID": "12345"\})
  • Result: A new variable named Customer_Fields will be created, containing the list: ["FirstName", "LastName", "Email", "CustomerID"].

Example 2: Analyzing Product Data

  • Scenario: Your application receives product data from an external system, and you need to identify all the data points (attributes) included in each product entry.
  • Inputs:
    • Object: Product_Details (e.g., \{"ProductName": "Laptop Pro", "Price": 1200.00, "SKU": "LP-001", "Weight_kg": 2.5, "InStock": true\})
  • Result: A new variable named Product_Attributes will be created, containing the list: ["ProductName", "Price", "SKU", "Weight_kg", "InStock"].

Example 3: Processing Form Submissions

  • Scenario: A user submits a form, and you want to get a list of all the fields they filled out, regardless of the specific form.
  • Inputs:
    • Object: Form_Submission_Data (e.g., \{"FullName": "John Doe", "Address": "123 Main St", "City": "Anytown", "ZipCode": "12345"\})
