Not able to use passed data to embedded app

App Building
1

  • Goal: I want to use data passed from parent to embedded app to set an app variable.

  • Steps:
    I have a working embedded app that receives data from the parent as documented here: Embed web apps | Retool Docs.

The data being pass is a simple json object (i.e. {email: "foo@example.com}) which I the app queries for successfully using the email as the value of the "Selector" for the parent query.

I've created a "Success Event Handler" that attempts to extract the query.data and set a variable with it via a "Set variable" action.

This set variable does not work. It appears the query.data property is empty.

I can see the debug console that shows the data is received by the app (i.e. "Received message from parent [...]".

What am I missing?

Thanks,
-Donnie

Hello @floodfx!

Very odd that the console displays the data from the query but that the set variable step does not run on query success.

Can you share a screenshot of the set variable action not working?
