Definition and Usage
Create a new empty list to store multiple values of a specified data type. Lists are dynamic collections that can be used to store and manage multiple items of the same type, allowing for efficient data manipulation in workflows.
Parameter Values
Input parameters
Parameter | Description | Possible Values | Required | Options / Notes |
List type | Select the type of data that will be stored in the list | Any, String, Number, Boolean, Date | Yes | "Any" allows storing different data types in the same list |
Error handling
Parameter Name | Description |
Throw error & stop | When an error occurs, the action will trigger an error and stop the execution of the entire app. |
Retry command | If an error occurs, the action will retry the command in an attempt to resolve the issue and continue the process. |
Ignore error & continue | When an error occurs, the action will be ignored, and the workflow will continue without interruption. |
Variables produced
This action produces a variable that contains the newly created empty list. The variable can be used in subsequent actions to add, remove, or manipulate list items.
Using Variables in Conditions
You can use the created list variable in various operations:
Add items to the list using the "Add to list" action
Access specific items using index notation
Loop through list items using the "For each" action
Manipulate list contents with other list-related actions
Notes
The list is initially created empty with no items
The selected data type determines what kind of values can be stored in the list
Lists are zero-indexed, meaning the first item is at position 0
When using the "Any" type, you can store different data types in the same list, but this may cause issues when performing operations that require a specific data type
