Queue Trigger - Robot Setup

Help Robot
1

Hi all,

I’m interested in building a robot which will be executed based on a queue trigger. One thing that doesn’t seem clear based on the documentation is how to configure the process, specifically in regards to how I retrieve the queue item.

I see two options here:

  1. Use a Get Transaction Item activity as normal
    • How does it know to get the queue item that caused the trigger to fire? Do I need to configure the activity in any specific way?
  2. Accept a QueueItem as a process argument

What is the correct solution here?

Hi @Foxtrek_64,

I suggest creating a brand new project based on the ReFramework and analyzing how the Get Transaction Data State is coded. The Get Transaction activity is nested inside that state and pulls the first transaction that Orchestrator is able to provide to it from the specified queue. The Queue Trigger starts the process and provides the transaction that caused the trigger to occur to the process. No in arguments are required.

Thanks
