C# Script

Type: C# Script | Category: Scripting | Icon: 🔧

Runs a C# 10.0 code snippet within the Task flow. Variables from previous operations are directly accessible by name. The script's return value becomes the operation output.

Settings

Setting Type Default Description
Enable Variable Inline bool false Allow {variableName} syntax to inline variable values into the code before compilation
Content string (C# editor) return "my script result"; The C# script code

Outputs

Output Type Description
Object Whatever the script returns

Default variable mappings

Variable Name Expression Description
csharpScriptResult result The script's return value

Variable access

All current Task variables are available as local variables in the script:

// If previous operations defined searchText and httpResponseContent:
var query = searchText;
var response = httpResponseContent;
return response.Contains(query) ? "found" : "not found";

When Enable Variable Inline is on, {variableName} in the code is replaced with the variable's value before compilation — useful for building strings but can break code if values contain special characters.

Tips

  • Scripts are compiled once at save time and cached for performance.
  • Use C# scripts for fast text transformations, regex parsing, and data extraction.
  • For external effects (file I/O, network), prefer dedicated operations (HTTP Action, PS Script, Open).
  • Keep scripts small and deterministic — avoid interactive prompts or long-running operations.
  • Supports using statements for additional namespaces.
