Learn how to use the artifacts slash command to work with output files from previous steps
Access and process output files (artifacts) from previous automation steps. Read data, extract content from documents, combine results, and work with various file formats seamlessly. Essential for multi-step workflows where data needs to be passed between steps.
Required:
action
- What to do (get, list, extract, combine)
file
- Artifact filename or pattern
Optional:
step
- Step ID (like ‘a3x7’) or step number
property
- Specific JSON property to extract
format
- How to process the file
The command returns:
Get data from a specific previous step by ID.
Extract specific property from JSON artifact in a previous step.
Combine multiple CSV artifacts from all previous steps into one dataset.
Automatically parses JSON and CSV files. Extracts text from PDFs, Word docs, Excel, and PowerPoint. Supports regex patterns for finding multiple files. Returns null if artifact not found. Step IDs (like ‘a3x7’) are more stable than step numbers.
