Get a dropdown property label instead of value in a workflow

NVersano — Thu, 15 Jun 2023 09:23:08 GMT

Hi,
I have a workflow with a custom code action, and I'm using the following line to add a contact's property to the custom code —

user_type = event.get('inputFields').get(‘user_’type)

The user type property is a dropdown-type property, with a label and a value (For example a Lead label with a value of 0).

The code line above returns the property value (0), is there any way to get the property’s label (Lead) instead, or do I need to convert all the property's values in the code manually?

Thanks!

Hello @NVersano

Way to get the property's label instead of the value in a workflow custom code action. By this code

user_type = event.get('inputFields').get('user_type').label

It will return the label of the user_type property, which in your example is "Lead".

use this code in a workflow custom code action.

function myCustomCodeAction(event, context) { // Get the user_type property label var user_type = event.get('inputFields').get('user_type').label; // Do something with the user_type label // For example, you could send an email to the contact with their user_type label var emailSubject = "Your user type is " + user_type; var emailBody = "You are currently a " + user_type + " in our system."; context.createEmail(emailSubject, emailBody); }

Hi @himanshurauthan, thanks for replying.
I use phyton in the custom code action, when adding the code you suggested I get an error -
[ERROR] AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'label'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/var/task/hubspotHandler.py", line 4, in hubspot_handler
return file.main(event)
File "/var/task/file.py", line 13, in main
user_type = event.get('inputFields').get('usertype').label

Any suggestions?
