How to refer to a workflow or activity input in Elsa designer Switch activity

[jirimatejka]

I have a Switch activity in the workflow definition. How can I write the conditions (cases) to work with worfklow inputs.

Example: There is an "Amount" input of integer type that is passed onto a workflow. In the Switch activity I need to decide wheter the Amount is grater than 500 or lower and make two brances based on that.

I suppose to use C# syntax (as there is no other option if the Type dropdown). It is clear, but how can I refer to a workflow input? Or possibly an Activity Input?

thanks

Assume you have a variable called Amount, which you can use with JavaScript. You can obtain the value of "Amount" using the following syntax:
return getAmount() > 500;

Thanks. I actually don't have a variable of this name in the workflow. It is just an input value passed as Input.

Should a I create a variable of this name? And the input of the same name is automatically passed onto the variable?

And does the getAmount function automatically available or should I author it somewhere?

Thanks a lot! Am new to Elsa and couldn't find any information about this topic in documentation.

Naming of method is combination of get+Amount+() and it can be use where ever you want to get a variable so yes it is automatically available. For the assignment the value you can use set variable activity
