  • Click on the 'get data' activity to open and configure the 'Get data' activity.

  • Click on the 'Enter Resource' field to enter the 'Resource' name.

  • In this example, we are trying to get the contact information by using the 'phone number' or 'first name' of the caller.

  • Select the 'Contacts' resource from the list.

  • You can use the variable name or you can enter the value directly into the 'Enter Value' fields.

  • After filling the values in the given fields you can close and save the activity by clicking outside of the activity panel.

  • You will notice three child buttons under the 'Get data' Activity. 

  • SINGLE MATCH: if the 'get data' activity has only one value then this button activity will execute.

  • MULTIPLE MATCH: If the 'get data' activity has multiple values then this button activity will execute.

  • NO MATCH: If no result then this button will execute. 

You can open any activity on these buttons and can use the result of the 'Get Data' activity to execute the several activities, like on 'Single match' you can open the contact of the customer, on 'Multiple matches' you can do the 'Pop search and select' and on 'No match' you can create a contact. Below is the example to add activity and use the result of the 'Get data' activity.
