Build String

This allows you to build URIs for passing to other applications (such as storm DTA). For example, you may construct the following URL for passing to storm DTA via the Route to Contact action cell:

http://mycrm.com/contacts?name=John%20Smith

Properties

Rule

‘URI’ is the only option.

Build String Base

Use this field to provide the start of the URI, using a literal value (preceded by =) or a string variable. For  example:

=http://myhost.com/path

Any special characters must be percent-encoded. For example, a space character is encoded with %20.

Note: this field is optional. If you do not provide a value, the string built by the action cell will have the format of a URI query.

Input Parameters

Use this section to build a list of variables to be used to construct the URI.

In the Build String Input Name field, enter the name of the variable as recognised by the service (use a literal value prefixed by =, or a string variable). In the Build String Input Value field, provide the value to pass. Click Add to add the Name/Value pair to the list below.

Note: input parameters do not need to be encoded, as this is done when the URI is built.

Build String Result

Enter a string variable to store the resulting URI.

The value in the string variable will have the format:

with the Build String Input Name and Build String Input Value elements inserted in the order in which they are listed.

For example:

http://myhost.com/path?param1=value1&param2=value2
