RESPOND

This is a premium feature.

Sends either arbitrary JSON data or a message to specified producer. Usually this function is used to respond to a previously received request-message. A request-message must provide a requestId property within its Metadata object.

Syntax

=RESPOND(MessageOrJSON, Producer, requestId)

Arguments

Name	Description
MessageOrJSON	Data to send as response.
Producer	Name of the Producer to use for sending respond.
requestId	The requestId as provided by a previously received request-message

Return

TRUE on success or error code otherwise.

Examples

We assume that a request-message was received and that it provides a requestId which we store to cell B1 by using the READ function as follows: READ(INBOXMETADATA(,,"requestId"), B1, "String")

Formula	Result	Comment
=RESPOND(OUTBOX("Message"), "Rest", B1)	TRUE	Sends the message with id Message from the outbox to the producer named Rest using the requestId in B1
RESPOND(DICTIONARY(A3:C5), "Rest", B1)	TRUE	Sends the JSON data provided by the dictionary function to the producer named Rest using the requestId in B1
