I am creating a recipe function to return a result from an API call. I have a Parse JSON step, but how do I return the result of this was the output of the recipe function? I have the schema defined, but I cannot get a datapill from the output of the step.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi @AMacourek,
If you want to return data from Child recipe to Parent recipe (main recipe).
1. you should call the function recipe with synchronous action only
2. need to define the result schema in fuction-call recipe trigger.
3. add the step with return data from a recipe function action in recipe function by workato app
4. then you can able to see the data pills in the parent recipe.
hope you got my point?

I created a list and added items to the list. Now, how can I return this list to the output of th recipe?

Hi @AMacourek , only the โReturn data from a recipe functionโ step can expose data to the parent Lists you create (Create list / Add item to list) are internal only until you return them.

This is what I needed. I did not set up the schema for the list; I just did a generic list.
