Way to keep notification (performed via action flow) history and use it for filtering new notifications?

There is a case I want to solve, see below. I have a solution I would apply if I had classical programming language + RDBMS, but I'm not sure how to implement this in celonis or whether there is another solution. Could you please help? The case I want to solve is sending email notifications to users via action flow in case there are missing invoice receipts.For each missing invoice receipt there is a notification type that can be chosen with their own subjects, body text, etc., for instance:If the date1 >= today + 7 days then group 1.If the date1 >= today + 14days then group 2.If the due date >= today - 7 days then group 3. One possible solution would be to keep the history of the sent emails in some table and join it to the missing invoice receipts data to filter out the emails for each new iteration of sending - so that we don't send some letters twice if we already sent them.E.g. if we had sent the email of type for invoice receipt no. 12345 yesterday, we don't

Demo - Triggering an Action Flow from a table

Hello all, I'm really excited to announce a recent feature update for Action Flows. It is now possible to trigger an Action Flow directly from a table in View using the dropdown input feature.This allows users to choose an option from a predefined dropdown list when taking an action from a view. This choice is then passed on to the Action Flows as an input and therefore enables advanced human-in-the-loop use cases.  You can find further documentation here.

Action Flow Transfer Speed

We are using an action flow to query data and send it to Snowflake.  The issue is that it transfers 1 line at a time even if we use a csv module or leave that out.  It takes 18 minutes to transfer 2000 lines (10 fields per line).I think about how fast it is to download a MUCH larger table from a view or an analysis and think there has to be a faster method.  Is there a faster way to do this?

Anyone familiar with Skills?

Hello,  id like to create a skill which is triggered on every first of the Month. I Created an kpi like this if Left(Today(),2) = ‘01’ then KPI = 1. So my KPI logic is working fine but, i do not found any way to use this kpi as a trigger for a Smart Sensor. I included the KPI into a Record, but when i try to use this record in smart sensor, it does not show me created attribut with my KPI. Did anyone had a similiar Projekt with triggering Smart Sensor at the first of the Month, and could maybe help me? Kind Regards Jonas

Action Flow - Sending an MS Outlook CSV file automatically to each customer and their varied list of contact email_addresses

As part of the MS Outlook email recipient ‘To list’, the number of email recipients varies by customer and can vary from 1 contact to up to 9 contacts. For those familiar with the term ‘Rolodex’, (customers/contact_names/email_address), I want to automatically sequence through the ‘Rolodex table’ and send one email to each identified customer (based on a flag that is set) and TO: each respective contact for that customer (1 to 9 contacts_email_addresses). What is the best way to address the ‘dynamic list’ of email contacts per customer that need to get set up in the MS Outlook module?I have seen the example in the community of using the Group function in the CSV module, but that example was specific to 1 role (1 recipient in the MS Outlook 365) vs a varied list of contact_email_addresses, depending on the customer.

Array aggregator can't read two bundles from Get Row module

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding Action Flow. I use a Get Rows module and get two bundles as a Output. Once I wanna use the two bundles in a further module within the Action Flow, I cannot select any of my columns I defined in my Get Rows module. The only columns I can select is “Total number of bundles”, “Bundle order position”, “undefined”. I haven’t found any documentation or similar issues in the community. If anybody has an idea how I can select my defined columns highly welcome to respond. Thank youAndreas

Action Flow partial result http

Hello celonauts, I have a question. I'm creating an action flow that will access an API, but it needs to generate a token and then go to access. In the first step, I generate my token, but it comes composed. I would like to get only the part that brings the token: Example{"token_type":"Bearer","expires_in":3599,"ext_expires_in":3599,"access_token": "value-token"}.I need to get only the "value-token" part after the "access_token":Is there any way I can do a spit or something like that? I don't know how to get out the other side.

Anyone now if there is a way to delete files from sharepoint using action flow?

I'm using a SharePoint connector and the Microsoft 365 module to read data from XLSX files. These files are constantly updated, and I needed a way to get rid of them after a certain time. I know that Microsoft 365 has a function to delete a table, but it deletes a sheet, not the whole file. The SharePoint module has a "Delete an Item" action, but it doesn't seem to bring the correct files. Is there a way to do this? If not, is there a way to move files from one path to another inside SharePoint, still using only Action Flow?

Migrating connector from Linux 7 to 8

Hello,Our team is in the process of setting up Linux 8 on our production server and are seeking to migrate the Celonis Connector from our previous Linux 7 server.The Linux 7 server currently uses JDK 11 and a 2022 version of the JDBC connector without the aid of an on-premise client.Would it be recommended to install the current version of the JDBC connector (and JDK dependency) separately, or would installing an on-premise client package be better?

Extract images from PDF report into SMTP

Hi folks! I have a challenge where I need to create a PDF report from an analysis and send it by email, I’m using SMTP. I was able to configure the module to send the PDF report attached. However, I’m trying to include the content of this PDF in the email's content as an image. Normally I would be able to create a python code that allows me to get the data from PDF, but unfortanely is not possible to use any program language inside an action flow.According to this documentation, https://docs.celonis.com/en/email--action-flow-.html it’s possible to use the content_ID to include the content of PDF report as an image inside the HTML content, but I cannot find any example that explain how to achieved this.Does anyone know how to do that, pls?

Is there a way to edit analysis content (OLAP table) via pycelonis (e.g. add column)?

I am looking for a solution to automate changes to large number of analyses, where I need to occasionally add/delete columns from tables and graphs, when they become obsolete and replace them with new columns from the data model.Ideally, I would like to know if there is a way to access analysis content (various components) and manipulate them via pycelonis.The content is so far only accessible via celonis.apps, where it is not possible to change anything.Is there a possible solution in pycelonis (or something else) right now?
