Lookup item in list block
The lookup item in list block searches for a specific item inside a list.
A lookup item in list block is commonly used in the following situation:
- When an automation needs a specific object from a list.
Configuring a lookup item in list block
Configure the lookup item in list block to select a specified item within a single list.
List blocks do not use iterators. This means that lists are loaded in memory before doing the processing of any data. If your automation contains large lists, the automation might fail with an out-of-memory error. Instead, use a loop block to iterate through large lists.
Inputs
The lookup item in list block requires a list and a condition. The list can be a field mapped list from a preceding block. The input condition accepts keys, for example email, or a nested key like profile.email.
Example of looking up item in list
List:
[
{"email": "john@doe.com", "name": "John Doe"},
{"email": "bill@acme.com", "name": "Bill Davis"}
]
If the above list is the input list, and the condition is email equals john@doe.com, then the resulting list is:
{"email": "john@doe.com", "name": "John Doe"}
