Trying to send text from Power Automate to Webcore

#21

No prob, play with it again tomorrow :smiley:

Good morning!

Ok, I have a confession - I wasnā€™t scroolling far enough down to see whether the variable had been populatedā€¦ I was looking at the ā€˜Local Varibleā€™ area expecting the args statement to populate, when instead if I should have scrolled down further to ā€˜System Variablesā€™ and I would have seen the thing working a while back (albeit with the same additional jibberish). Plus it also works using ā€˜Postā€™ in Power Automate.

Anyway, on to my next challenge. Essentially I want to transfer what is captured in the system $args variable into a local ā€˜DateTimeInfoā€™ variable, that I can then apply a push message command to, or get a speaker to read out the info stored etc.

But I cannot seem to get the local variable to populate from the system variable - nor does trying to send a push message with the sysytem variable value of {$args} work either - both just come back ā€˜nullā€™ - any idea what Iā€™m doing wrong? In pictures:

Setting the local variable to be what the $args system variable is (it doesnā€™t work, local variable just always lists {$args} and instead of the value that system variable contains (despite when setting it, it seems to work - note the white text box pop out shgowing what it should report):

WebCore logs if they help (note the local variable remains set to {$args} on the right side of the image.

Not sure if this makes sense, but put simply, I want to take the information sent from Power automate which is captured in a system variable and get it into a usable state to be pushed out via a message or read out by a speakerā€¦

My word, Iā€™ve only gone and flippinā€™ done it with this piston! (I changed the variable name in case you are wondering).

I can now push variables from Power Automate, and log them into a local variable using the &name=%TESTVar% suffix to the webcore pistonā€™s external url. Amazing times.

@eibyer thank you so much again for helping get this far!

Iā€™m glad you got it figured it out :slight_smile:

On ST, logging $args would give all of the arguments passed on to webcore but I just noticed that in HE you have to be specific in extracting the variable name. Maybe because the access_token is included in the piston url, not sure.
