How do I insert a dynamic value of Request Body (URL) to call an Azure Function?

Question

This is possibly my 5th time posting a thread in Microsoft Q & A.

This is a new post after a Microsoft engineer suggested to create a new thread after we could not figure out.

This is previous post:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/2105092/how-to-extract-url-from-email-body-using-javascrip

What I initially tried to do was, inside Azure Logic App, I used "Execute JavaScript Code" step to extract particular URL from previous step (Get emails (V3).

Bottom is details inside "Execute JavaScript Code" step:

But, it appears that that would not work, so the Microsoft engineer tried using "Call an Azure Function" to call an Azure Function that contains JS node code that has a logic.

Bottom is logic inside that Azure Function.

Now, I am stuck how to express inside "Request Body" of "Call an Azure function".

The value inside the "Request Body" has to be dynamic as it changes daily.

When I ran this, it ran without error (as shown on the bottom image), but now, I need to modify the "Request Body" area to call the Azure Function with a dynamic value (after "details= ").

How do I express that (inside "Request Body")?

Hi King Java,

As discussed, to achieve your requirement, you can follow the steps below in your workflow:

1. Outlook Trigger: Use the "When a new email arrives (V3)" trigger. This will monitor all incoming emails in a specified folder within your inbox, based on the conditions you set.
2. Execute JavaScript Code Action: Use the "Execute JavaScript Code" action with the following regex expression and JavaScript code to extract any http or https links present in the email body. Here’s the inline JavaScript code you can use:

var text = /https?://\S+/g;

var links = workflowContext.trigger.outputs.body.body.replace(/https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com[^"]+/g, '');

var result = links.match(text);

if (result && result[0]) {
result[0] = result[0].replace(/"$/, '');
}

return result[0];
