Configuring Response

Users have the flexibility to customize the response returned by workflows. The Response node enables configuration of your output through JavaScript code. Each workflow can have multiple response nodes.

Return Data from a Single Node​

Consider a workflow that combines sales data (from the getSalesData node) with inventory data (from the getInventory node) via a JavaScript operation (in the generateCSVData node).

Response Node Preview

Within the Response node, specify the output by using a return statement that encapsulates an object within parentheses:

return ({generateCSVData})
Single Node Response

Returning Data From Multiple Nodes​

You can also return data from other nodes. Either return the complete data set or specify only the required portions, as demonstrated below:

return 
    ({sales: getSalesData.data,
    inventory: getInventory.data,
    csv: generateCSVData.data})
Multi Node Response

Fine Tuning Your Response Using JavaScript​

Refine your response by manipulating the data using JavaScript functions. For example, the slice function can be used to select a subset of data:

return 
    ({sales: getSalesData.data.slice(0,5),
    inventory: getInventory.data.slice(0,5),
    csv: generateCSVData.data})
Transformed Response

Workflow Execution​

When executing workflows with triggers, the configured data in the Response node will be included in the API response. --- id: results title: Configuring Response​

When executing workflows with triggers, the configured data in the Response node will be included in the API response. When triggered inside a ToolJet app, the data will be returned in the same format as a regular query.
