Is template column not supported in workflows?

Hi Guys,

I have started a workflow where I want to call API once every week

Agenda: I have rows which contain body for the API request. Every week it should move through all the rows and call the API with the body and get the response.

PS the body is a template column

For some reason I am not able to get the template column which has body content to be used in the API

It fails everytime without getting lanes for body. is template column not allowed in Workflow?

Thank you in advance.

Dilip

Does the template column reference user specific columns?

Hi Rob,

Template column references to output of Javascript column.

Would that be an issue?

What would be a workaround for that ? I am extracting Instagram handle from the Instagram
Link using Java script column

Yes. The JavaScript column is not supported.

You need to find another way.

If you trigger a workflow from an app interaction then you could use JS output in the request body.

Except he wants a scheduled workflow…

Thank you for replying @Darren_Murphy

I am thinking I’ll pass the JSOutput through template column. Then I can put it into workflow right?

Hi @Eric_Penn ,

yeah @Robert_Petitto is right I want it to be scheduled.

If I understand what you are saying, then no.
Like I said, the JavaScript column is not supported, whether it is referenced directly or indirectly.
If you are referencing an unsupported column type, you will see a warning in the workflow editor, like the one shown in your earlier screen shot:

Hi @Darren_Murphy ,

here is what I did. I took the link and applied combination of split text, single value column and replace text to get the handle of instagram and then passed it via workflow.

I think now it works. SO javascript was indeed a problem,

Thank you for your help.

@Darren_Murphy @Robert_Petitto @Eric_Penn for your support always
