return results from python request(s) output

MrDuck — Tue, 03 Aug 2021 15:59:33 GMT

I have a custom integration where I am trying to map results (in strings) that are emails

into output to use for the next defined task or playbook.

I figured, IF the output looked like

that I could do a return_results(output)

and then in the Script settings, map the 'outputs' section under Arguments to "context path" ScriptName.output"

and then the data would appear?

what am I doing wrong? How do I return the results from one command to use it elsewhere?

You first want to call CommandResults to build the result you want to pass to return_results:

https://xsoar.pan.dev/docs/integrations/code-conventions#commandresults

Example:

emails = "email1,email2,email3"

output = emails.split(",")

result = CommandResults(
outputs_prefix="MyCustomEmails",
outputs=output,
readable_output=tableToMarkdown("My Custom Emails", output, headers=["Emails"]))

return_results(result)

Your outputs in the automation would by defined as "MyCustomEmails"

Context

You can reference the CommandResults in the Script Helper as well.
