Inputs are the data that Activities receive from the running automation. Inputs can be more than just basic values. With GoAutomate formulas, you can combine data from earlier steps in the automation. Here’s how to use formulas to map values to inputs:
Creating input mapping formulas
-
Open Automation Builder: Go to Manage > Automations >
<Automation Name>> View > Edit
Select the Activity step and then click the Input data section to expand it. -
Click the Input you want map data to. This will open the Edit input dialog.
Click the Mapping tab to show the Formula Builder.
Click inside the Formula Builder to start writing your formula.
Make sure your formula generates the correct type of data for the input. For example, if the input is a Date, your formula should result in a date. The Formula Builder is smart and will guide you based on the input's data type. If the data type doesn't match, it will show an error.
If you need to enter a specific value, follow the instructions here.
