[SOLVED] Sending Data from a Zoho Catalyst Job Function to an Basic I/O Function

Sending Data from a Zoho Catalyst Job Function to an Basic I/O Function

I am working with Catalyst and have a Job function that needs to send data to Basic I/O function. The goal is to pass the processed data from the Job function and trigger the other function efficiently.

Currently, I have implemented this using Datastore, where the Job function stores the data, and the Basic I/O function retrieves it when needed.

Solution

You can use the execute() method in the Node SDK to trigger the Advance I/O function and include JSON data as a parameter in the method. You can find the help documentation here for the same.

let conf = { 
    args: { 
        Name: 'Amelia', 
        Test: 'test', 
        Std: 'basic' 
    } 
};

let functions = catalystApp.functions();
let promiseResult = await functions.execute("{Your_functionID}", conf);

You can then retrieve the passed data in your Basic I/O function using the following code:

module.exports = (context, basicIO) => {
    basicIO.write("Hello from index.js");
    const allargs = basicIO.getAllArguments();
    console.log("arguments :", allargs);
    context.close();
};
