Data Factory API field - pipelineReturnValue not available in logic app connector?

Question

How can we access the output value from the data factory pipeline execution in logic apps through the "Get a pipeline run" action?

Is there any possible way to get the output from the data factory pipeline using logic apps?

REST API for data factory provides a field "pipelineReturnValue"-

@Rishit Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A, apologize for any inconvenience caused on this.

If you are using the built-in action, Get Pipeline run under data factory connector in logic app then you won't be able to pull the pipelineReturn Value. You can refer to this documentation, to understand what all the possible output values using the Get a pipeline run action.

To pull the pipelineReturnValue using logic app you need to use HTTP action and along with it you need to use compose to pull those returnvalues from the HTTP action output.

I have tested this in my local environment, by creating a consumption-based logic app with recurrence as trigger followed by HTTP action (to get pipeline run information) and compose to pull return value.

Here is the workflow screenshot for your reference:

Here is the expression we have used in the compose action in the above workflow:

body('HTTP')?['pipelineReturnValue']

If you want to pull the pipelineReturnValue using built-in action, Get a pipeline run I would suggest you raise feedback request here. Our engineering team will actively monitor this feedback as well.

Feel free to reach back to me if you have any further questions.
