Store an array in variable, pass it and display in delivery

Question

Hi,

I have a workflow that is built from Query activity, Advanced Javascript and delivery. For each recipient from the query I am doing calculations in Advanced JS activity and it returns an array. Its length may be different - from 1 element to 5.

So for example, in JS activity after I'm done with all business logic I save the array (myArray) to instance.vars:

var myArray = [1, 50, 100];
instance.vars.arrayForDelivery = myArray;

Let's assume that I want to have each element in a separate paragraph:

<% for (var i=0; i < (arrayForDelivery.length - 1); i++) { %> 
<p>instance.vars.arrayForDelivery[i]</p>
<%}%>

What should be done next, in the delivery, to loop through all arrayForDelivery elements? The code above is just example because it seems to not be working.

Best,

Dominik

instance.vars.arrayForDelivery[i]

Hello @dwnuk  Follow these steps:Open your delivery properties and create a string variable there. Let's call it arrayForDelivery. Select the data type as a string.Now in your workflow, use the Delivery activity from the Action tab.In the script tab of the Delivery activity, use this codedelivery.variables._var[0].stringValue=instance.vars.arrayForDelivery;​Now in the delivery, you will have access to this data using variables.arrayForDelivery You were missing point no 3. Let me know if it works.

Hi @dwnuk , I see you have almost completed most of the tasks required here and now you can do as such to display these arrayBlocks in the delivery. Step 1: Create an Html variable with labels such as:var deliveryVar = "";deliveryVar += ""; // Table headerdeliveryVar += " ";deliveryVar += "
";deliveryVar += " ";deliveryVar += " ";deliveryVar += " "; Step 2: Keep storing the values of Arrays in this variable with a loop, such as:for (var i=0; i < (arrayForDelivery.length - 1); i++) { deliveryVar += " "; deliveryVar += " "; deliveryVar += " "; };Once all the loop runs the HTML variable will have all the array values stored in Html table rows. Step 3: Covert the HtmlVariable to instance variable:vars.deliveryHtml = deliveryVar; Step 4: Place this Html variable in your delivery wherever you like.

<%= vars.deliveryHtml %>

P.S. As I used the variables as per your query so there might be syntax errors above which can be easily solved when testing, but I hope you got the idea how it can done! 🙂 Br,Shubham
