  • 1.  Regarding Data action output

    Posted 6 hours ago

    Hello All,

    Whenever we retrieve a response from a Data Action, the returned value is by default treated as a string - so we currently use an Update Data block to convert it to an Integer when needed. Apart from using an Update Data block for this conversion, is there any other way to handle this type conversion within Genesys Architect/data action side?

    A slightly more detailed variant, in case you want to add context for a community post:

    When a Data Action returns a value, it's treated as a string by default, even if the underlying value is numeric. Currently, I'm using an Update Data block to explicitly convert it to an Integer. Is there an alternative method within Architect to handle this type conversion , for example, at the Data Action configuration level, schema/output mapping, or within expression syntax  instead of relying on a separate Update Data block?

    Hello Satish,

    I believe you should be able to build it to output in the format you need.  I found this very helpful post in the community from a dew months ago: Data Actions Help - Integer and String values
