Group: Update Node

The Group: Update Node allows a workflow to update an existing Experience Group inside the current application, and optionally add the updated group to the current workflow payload.

Group: Update Node

Configuration

For finding the group to update, the node can find by group ID. This field is templatable, so it supports finding a group based on the current workflow payload. The example below is doing exactly that, and is referencing the field working.groupId on the workflow payload.

Using this option, the block configuration is separated into various string templates fields:

  • Name—Name of the group.
  • Description—Description of the group.
  • Group ParentParent group of the group to be updated.
  • DevicesAdvanced query that defines the devices to be associated with the updated group.
  • Group TagsTags to apply to the new group.
  • Members—Add, remove, or replace all existing group users.

JSON Template

The input must be a JSON template string that can be parsed into a JSON object that validates against the Experience Group Patch schema:

{
  "description": "{{working.group.description}}",
  "name": "{{working.group.name}}"
}

Payload Path

The input must be a payload path that points to an object on the current workflow payload that validates against the Experience Group Patch schema.

Result

Optionally, you may provide a payload path at which to place the result of the operation.
