Utilities : Creating a List

Creating a List

How to utilize the List Item data type in Workato


 One of the most powerful feature of Workato is the data type List and the Repeat action. Combining these, you will be able to access field values for each of the list items in a list. 


However, you can't exactly use the Repeat action if you do not have a List Item. What if you just need to repeat a certain actions for specific number of times? Here, we can use the action : "Create a list"


Create a list creates an empty List Item of a given size. The list item itself do not have any values in it, but it allows you to use it in a Repeat action.


1) Create a new action "Create a list". Specify the size of the list.

2) In subsequent of the recipe, create a new Repeat action. In the repeat action, simply drag and drop the List Item from the App Data section
