lam.execute

Learn more about the execute keyword

Functionality

The execute keyword executes each specified workflow in the array with its corresponding payload synchronously. This blocks the current workflow's execution until all specified workflows complete.

Invocation

Data transformation must output:

{
  "lam.execute": [
    {
      "lam.workflowId": 39,
      "lam.payload": { /* payload data */ }
    }
  ]
}

Key	Description	Type
execute	The workflows to execute with a payload	Array<{ workflowId, payload }>
workflowId	The workflow ID to invoke	Integer
payload	The payload to pass to the workflow	Object

Examples

(payload) => {
  const { input } = payload;
  const { Recipient, PackagesInfo } = input;
  
  const packagePayloads = PackagesInfo.Packages.map(pkg => ({
    "lam.workflowId": 39,
    "lam.payload": {
      address_1: Recipient.Address1,
      address_2: Recipient.Address2,
      EXT_FIELD_first_name: Recipient.Firstname,
      EXT_FIELD_last_name: Recipient.Name,
      EXT_FIELD_email: Recipient.Email,
      EXT_FIELD_phone: Recipient.Tel,
      EXT_FIELD_weight: pkg.Weight.Value,
      custom_user_fields: [
        { order_custom_field_id: 1852 }
      ],
      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.execute": packagePayloads
  };
}

In this example we map an array of packages to the execute keyword. Laminar will then invoke workflow 39 with each individual payload in sequence.
