Get item from a list
Get item from a list
Gets a specific item of a data list based on the index provided. Essential for accessing individual elements of lists returned by other actions — such as a database result row, an item of a text split or an element of a manually created list.
Options
Enter the index of the list
Enter the position of the item you want to get. Counting starts at zero — that is, the first item of the list is at position 0, the second at position 1, and so on.
List
Select an output field of the list type from a previous action. Only fields that return lists are shown as an option.
Returns
Javascript code
js
actions["action-id"].value // value of the item found at the position indicated (Any)
actions["action-id"].index // index of the item accessed (Number)
Field selection
- value — value of the list item at the position provided (Any)
- index — index that was used to access the item (Number)
Rules and Conditions
- The List and Index fields are required.
- The index starts at zero — the first item is at position 0.
- If the index provided is greater than the size of the list, the action may return empty.
- Only output fields of the list or any type are listed as options for the List field.
