How it works

The following steps and message sequence diagram is an example of how the activity works from design time (i.e., the activity dependencies and input/output properties) to run time.

1. Complete the steps.
2. Add the Microsoft Office 365 Scope activity to your project.
3. Add an activity or run an external process that outputs a DriveItem object (e.g., Find Files and Folders, Create Workbook, Copy Item).
4. Add the Get Cell Color activity inside the Microsoft Office 365 Scope activity.
5. Enter values for the Input properties.
6. Create and enter a String variable for the Output property.

7. Run the activity.

   • Your input property values are sent to the GetRangeFormat API.
   • The API returns the String value to your output property variable.
