Create a string

Function: Create a string​

This action allows you to store a piece of text within your application's memory, making it available for use in subsequent steps or actions. Think of it as creating a temporary note with a specific message that your application can read later. The platform will automatically assign a unique name to this stored text, which you can then use to refer to it.

Input​

  • Value (Text): The actual text or message you want to store. This is the content of your note.

Output​

  • Variable name (Text): The unique name that the platform automatically assigned to your stored text. You will use this name to retrieve or reference your text in other parts of your application.

Real-Life Examples​

Here are a few ways you can use the "Create a string" action in your applications:

  1. Storing a Welcome Message:

    • Inputs:
      • Value: "Welcome to our new customer portal!"
    • Result: The system creates a variable (e.g., named SystemString_1) containing the text "Welcome to our new customer portal!". This variable name (SystemString_1) is then available for you to use, for example, to display the message on a user's dashboard.

  2. Saving a Product Identifier:

    • Inputs:
      • Value: "PROD-XYZ-789"
    • Result: The system creates a variable (e.g., named ProductCode_A) holding the text "PROD-XYZ-789". You can then use ProductCode_A in a later step to search for product details in your database.

  3. Recording a Temporary Status:

    • Inputs:
      • Value: "Processing Payment"
    • Result: The system creates a variable (e.g., named CurrentStatus_B) with the text "Processing Payment". This variable name (CurrentStatus_B) can be used to update a status display on a user interface or to log the current state of an operation.
