Automation Workshop includes the Set Execution Result Action that allows a Task to define and return a specific result value. This value can be accessed by another Task that called it using the Start Task Action, enabling Tasks to behave like functions in programming—with clear input and output logic.
Features & highlights
- Enables passing return values from a called Task to the calling Task.
- Allows for creating reusable helper Tasks with multiple Actions—eliminating the need to duplicate logic across Tasks.
- Supports Unicode text, numbers, and other data types.
- The Execution Result can contain any dynamic content, including variables or user-defined values.
- Result values are available immediately to the next Action in the calling Task.
- Can be used to control Task flow, conditional branching, or to report status messages.
- Makes nested Task structures more modular and reusable—similar to functions in programming.
Documentation
- Result · Provide a fixed or dynamic return value that is passed to the calling Task.
