Text Collection Get Value

Overview

This action lets you easily grab a specific text value from a text collection. You can get the first, last, or value at a specific position within the collection.


How it Helps

Imagine you have a collection of product names and want to display the first product in a welcome message. This action allows you to quickly retrieve the first value from the collection without any complicated logic.


When to Use It

This action is ideal for:

  • Accessing specific values in a text collection.

  • Retrieving the first, last, or any value by its position.

  • Simplifying value retrieval without looping or complex formulas.

  • Working with ordered collections where the position of values matters.


Example

To display a notification with the last error message in a collection:

  1. Create a Text Collection: Have a Text Collection variable containing error messages.

  2. Configure the Action: Select the error message collection and choose "Last" as the operation.

  3. Display the Value: Use the action's output to display the last error message in a notification component.


Key Considerations

  • Source Collection: Ensure you have a valid collection of text values.

  • Operation: Choose the appropriate operation:

    • First: Retrieves the first value in the collection.

    • Last: Retrieves the last value in the collection.

    • At Index: Retrieves the value at a specific numerical index (starting from 0)
