lam.resolveThenExecute

Learn about the resolveThenExecute keyword

Functionality

The resolveThenExecute keyword resolves a pending request with the contents from lam.result and then executes a new workflow. This enables asynchronous workflow execution by immediately responding to webhook requests while continuing processing.

Invocation

Data transformation must output:

{
  "lam.resolveThenExecute": {
    "lam.workflowId": 52,
    "lam.payload": { /* payload data */ },
    "lam.result": { /* result data */ }
  }
}

Key	Description	Type
workflowId	The workflow ID to invoke after resolving pending request	Integer
payload	The payload to pass to the workflow	Object
result	The result to resolve the pending request with	Object

Examples

(payload) => {
  const { step_2, input } = payload;
  const { Recipient, PackagesInfo } = input;
  
  const packages = PackagesInfo.Packages.map(pkg => ({
    address_1: Recipient.Address1,
    address_2: Recipient.Address2,
    address_city: Recipient.City,
    address_state_id: Recipient.CountryStateCode,
    address_country_id: Recipient.CountryCode,
    address_zip: Recipient.PostalCode,
    tracking_number: pkg.PreAssignTrackingNumber.TrackingNumber
  }));

  return {
    "lam.resolveThenExecute": {
      "lam.workflowId": 52,
      "lam.payload": {
        "packages": packages
      },
      "lam.result": step_2.data
    }
  };
}

In this example we start workflow 52 with our packages array and resolve the pending request with our $result.
