Custom code block

The custom code block lets you use custom code in your automation. Because the output of this block is used as the input for other blocks, the script must use a JSON-encoded print/echo or equivalent.

Due to U.S. Government specific control requirements, the Custom Code block is not supported by Qlik Cloud Government. Using a Custom Code block in a Qlik Cloud Government tenant will generate an error message (Custom code block not allowed).

A custom code block is commonly used in the following situation:

Limitations

Because the custom code block is optimized for security, it cannot access the internet, leverage third-party modules and packages, or make direct external calls. Since version upgrades may occasionally break customer code we recommend using native blocks and functions where possible.
