Variables produced
This action produces a variable that stores the task status information retrieved from Octoparse. The output variable contains the current status of the specified cloud extraction task(s).
Using Variables in Conditions
You can use the {x} syntax to insert previously created variables into parameter fields. This is especially useful when:
Dynamically setting Task IDs based on previous operations
Using conditional logic to check task status in subsequent workflow steps
Storing task status results for later analysis or reporting
Notes
Before using this command, ensure you have successfully logged in to Octoparse using the "Log in to Octoparse" command.
The task status information will include details such as whether the task is running, completed, failed, or pending.
For multiple task IDs, the status of all tasks will be returned in the output variable.
Ensure that the task IDs provided are valid and exist in your Octoparse account to avoid errors.
