How to Set Static and Dynamic Dropdown in Inbuilt Action Configuration

This documentation provides a detailed, step-by-step guide on how to configure Static and Dynamic Dropdown in Inbuilt Action.

How to Set Dynamic Dropdown in Inbuilt Action Configuration:

When setting an inbuilt action event, sometimes we require setting the "Body/Query/Path Parameters" field from another inbuilt action. In such situations, we use dynamic dropdowns to configure the field details. You need to follow these steps -

1. Creates an inbuilt action event where the response key needs to be mapped in its dependent inbuilt action event.
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. Add inbuilt action events if necessary to map dropdown field values in this inbuilt action event. You can achieve this by using the Inbuilt Action step just above the Inbuilt Action Event API Configuration section. Click the plus (+) button to do so.
3. Select the available inbuilt action events from the dropdown field, as shown below:
   
   
   
4. Next, you can define the parameter key in the Set Body/Query Parameters option.
   
   
   
   
   
   
5. Finally, you can configure that parameter key and value for the requested raw JSON, as shown below:
   
   
   

How to Set Static Dropdown in Inbuilt Action Configuration

When setting up a multi-step inbuilt action event, sometimes we need to set the Body/Query/Path Parameters field from an action, trigger step response, or another multi-step inbuilt action. In such situations, we use a static dropdown to configure field details. You need to follow these steps -

1. From Action Step response:
   
   - Click on the field "Settings" icon and select "Static Parameter Value".
   - Choose the "Endpoint" option in the "Response Of" and "Response" in the "Input Type". This depicts that we are taking value for this parameter from the response of the main action step. Please note that you have to enter the Response Key inside {{}} brackets. For Example. {{id}}.
   
   Here is the screenshot for reference -
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. From Trigger Step response:
   
   - Click on the field "Settings" icon and select "Static Parameter Value".
   - Choose the "Trigger" option in the "Response Of" and "Response" in the "Input Type". This depicts that we are taking value for this parameter from the response of the main trigger step. Please note that you have to enter the Response Key inside {{}} brackets. For Example. {{field_data}}.

Note: Provide the path to traverse within the response JSON using ==> notation.
