How to transform data between actions in custom workflow?

[BLai]

Hello Team,

I am new to HubSpots and I am working on custom workflow. I have 2 confusions while coding:

1.How can I transform data between differnet actions?

The workflow I am building look like this：

In the first action, I get and return phone number of all the enrolled contacts. The first action should be fine since it has passed the test. 

Here's my code:

import os
import hubspot as HubSpot
from hubspot.crm.contacts import ApiException, SimplePublicObjectInput


def main(event):


  hubspot = HubSpot.Client.create(api_key="my api key")

  phone = ''
  try:
    ApiResponse = hubspot.crm.contacts.basic_api.get_by_id(event.get('object').get('objectId'), properties=["phone","hs_object_id"])
    contact_id = ApiResponse.properties.get('hs_object_id')
    phone = ApiResponse.properties.get('phone')
  except ApiException as e:
    print(e)
    raise


  return {
    "outputFields": {
      "contact_id": contact_id,
      "phone": phone
    }
  }

The data outputs is set like this:

Then I want to transform the returned value to next action. I am not sure how to do that. I tried to follow the guide but still failed. Here's my code of the second Action and test result:

import os
from hubspot import HubSpot
from hubspot.crm.contacts import ApiException, SimplePublicObjectInput

def main(event):

  phone = event.get('inputFields').get('phone')

  return {
    "outputFields": {
      "phone": phone
    }
  }

And the result looks like this:

How should I transform the value between Actions?

2.

And in the next step I will try to transform the data between workflow. Can they work in the similar logic?

Thanks for the help!

Hi @BLai,

Did you make sure to include the output of your first custom code block into the second custom code block?

Best,

Thanks! That's the key!
