Accessing child Records

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by DuncanIVH 115

I have a variable set based on the result of sending an SMS message. This is a Record with various child Records as shown below.

As I will only ever be sending one message, how can I get the first item from the 'messages' record so that I can get the value from the 'status' field.

 

This is the parent record:

 Going into the 'data' record give this:

 Going into the 'messages' record gives this:

    Hi, @DuncanIVH 

    If the last entity in  'message' record is a Record type ,you can use this to get the status:
    varSMSResponse.data.message.status

    If the last entity in  'message' record is a Table type ,you can use this to get the status:

    First(varSMSResponse.data.message).status

     

    If I misunderstand you, you can provide me with a more detailed screenshot and the results you want to get!

     

    Best Regards,

    Yueyun Zhang
