The InvokeScreenAutomation API allows invoking an action defined in a screen in a Honeycode app. The API allows setting local variables, which can then be used in the automation being invoked. This allows automating the Honeycode app interactions to write, update or delete data in the workbook.

--workbook-id
(string)
The ID of the workbook that contains the screen automation.
--app-id
(string)
The ID of the app that contains the screen automation.
--screen-id
(string)
The ID of the screen that contains the screen automation.
--screen-automation-id
(string)
The ID of the automation action to be performed.
--variables
(map)
Variables are specified as a map where the key is the name of the variable as defined on the screen. The value is an object which currently has only one property, rawValue, which holds the value of the variable to be passed to the screen. Any variables defined in a screen are required to be passed in the call.
key -> (string)
value -> (structure)
The input variables to the app to be used by the InvokeScreenAutomation action request.
rawValue -> (string)
Raw value of the variable.
Shorthand Syntax:
KeyName1=rawValue=string,KeyName2=rawValue=string
JSON Syntax:
{"string": {
"rawValue": "string"
}
...}
--row-id
(string)
The row ID for the automation if the automation is defined inside a block with source or list.
--client-request-token
(string)
The request token for performing the automation action. Request tokens help to identify duplicate requests. If a call times out or fails due to a transient error like a failed network connection, you can retry the call with the same request token. The service ensures that if the first call using that request token is successfully performed, the second call will return the response of the previous call rather than performing the action again.
Note that request tokens are valid only for a few minutes. You cannot use request tokens to dedupe requests spanning hours or days.
--cli-input-json
| --cli-input-yaml
(string)
Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton
. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml
.
--generate-cli-skeleton
(string)
Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input
, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json
. Similarly, if provided yaml-input
it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml
. If provided with the value output
, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.
See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.
workbookCursor -> (long)
The updated workbook cursor after performing the automation action.
