Hi @yechao,

To dynamically display the result from a webhook in the content of an Outlook email, you can use the data from the webhook trigger directly within an Outlook action in your Pipedream workflow. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

  1. Create a new workflow with a webhook trigger.
  2. Add an Outlook action to your workflow. You can search for Outlook in the Pipedream UI and select the appropriate action, such as “Send an Email”.
  3. Configure the Outlook action by filling in the necessary fields like the recipient’s email address, subject, etc.
  4. Dynamically insert the webhook data into the email content. You can access the data from the webhook using the steps.trigger.event object. For example, if your webhook sends JSON data, you can reference it directly in the email body.

Here’s an example of how you might reference data from the webhook in the Outlook email content:

export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    outlook: {
      type: "app",
      app: "outlook",
    },
  },
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    const webhookData = steps.trigger.event.body; // This assumes the webhook data is in the request body
    const emailContent = `Here are the results: ${JSON.stringify(webhookData)}`;

    // Send an email using the Outlook action
    return await axios($, {
      method: "POST",
      url: "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/sendMail",
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${this.outlook.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
      },
      data: {
        message: {
          subject: "Webhook Results",
          body: {
            contentType: "Text",
            content: emailContent,
          },
          toRecipients: [
            {
              emailAddress: {
                address: "recipient@example.com", // Replace with the recipient's email address
              },
            },
          ],
        },
      },
    });
  },
});

Please replace "recipient@example.com" with the actual recipient’s email address and adjust the emailContent variable to format the webhook data as you need for the email body.

If you need further assistance or have specific questions about the data structure you’re receiving from the webhook, please let me know, and I can provide more detailed guidance.
