Setting control

In order to execute the list data obtained from Google Sheets as the BOT input value (group data), it is necessary to format the list data into the text format of the group.
Create an empty array and add Google Sheets records to the array in a sequential run. Finally, format the group into a suitable text format.

Create a flow as follows.

• Create an empty array
• Set up sequential execution
• Add records to array
• Join arrays and format text

Create an empty array

1. Select "New Step".

2.Search for "Initialize variable", click the icon and select "Initialize variable".

3. Specify "Name" and "Type".

Initialize variables for the number of target columns that you want to set to the action. Create an empty array by leaving the value blank.

Set up sequential execution

1. Select "New Step". Press the built-in tab and search for "Control". Click the "Apply to each" icon."

2. Specify "Select an output from previous step".

In this example, specify "Records value" from "Add dynamic content".

Add records to array

Specify the records required as data to be passed to the cloud BOT from the column names of the sheet obtained by "Get rows".

1. Click "Add Action". Search for "variable" and select "Append to Array variable".

2. Specify "Name" and "Value".

The value can be specified from "Add dynamic content". Set the number of target lines that you want to set to the action after this.

Join arrays and format text

1. Select "New Step". Search for "Data operation" and click the "Join" icon.

2. Set "From" and "Join with". You can specify the elements in the arrays to be combined.

Set the number of targets you want to set for the action after this.

Setting Cloud BOT

1. Select "New Step". Search for "Cloud BOT" and select "Execute BOT" from Actions.

A flow has been created. Check the operation from "Test" in the upper menu (upper right of the screen). If you can confirm the execution result, the setting is completed.

You can check the execution result in the execution log of the cloud BOT.
