Advanced Action Output Settings

Advanced settings can be applied to any action in a Flux app.

The Output > Advanced settings section in an action allows you to change the format of data sent to another channel or generate new individual events from each element if the action result is a JSON array.

Transform Data

You can transform the action result (in the case of a Webhook action, this refers to the response from the destination). During transformation, you can extract necessary data from Input to the action or Result of the action.

Check Transform data and configure the following fields:

Field	Description
Content-Type	Specify the Content-Type of the data to be sent to another channel.
Content	Configure the transformation content. This result will be treated as the action result.

• Use ${payload.xxxxx} to get input to the action.
• Use ${result.xxxxx} to get the result of the action.

Example (1-1): Extract only the number of detected persons (${result.person}) from the result of the Simple Object Detection Action.

{
  "person": "${result.person}"
}

Example (1-2): Treat the following two data items as the action result:

• Data about the channel where the AI Action was added (${payload})
• The response from the AI model in the AI action result (${result.output})

{
  "payload": "${payload}",
  "ai_response": "${result.output}"
}

Delay (seconds)

Specify the number of seconds to wait before starting to output data to another channel.

Send event for each

When the action result is a JSON array, you can generate a new individual event for each element. These new events will start from the channel specified in Output > Destination Channel.

Check Send event for each and configure the following fields:

Field	Description
Interval (seconds)	Specify the interval (in seconds) to send each JSON array element as a new event.

For example, if Delay (seconds) is set to "100", and Interval (seconds) is set to "1000" for a JSON array with 3 elements, the behavior will be:

Event	Elapsed Time from Original Event	Description
Event processing JSON array	0 sec	The base event that processes the JSON array and generates new events for each element.
1st new event	100 sec	Starts processing the first element after the specified delay.
2nd new event	500 sec	Executed at an evenly spaced interval between the first and last event.
3rd new event	900 sec	Adjusted to fit within the 900-second total limit.

The individual events for each element will display data similar to the following in the context:

  {"eventType":"action","actionRunId":"0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP"}
