Is there any way to update a Power Automate variable inside a JS function?

I'm using the action "Run JavaScript function on web page" for extracting day & month from a website. The problem is that the value returned by JS function (stored to DateVar as a power automate var) is treated as [object Object] by Power Automate.

Here is the JS code.


var dynamicSelector = '[data-test="qc-wrapper"]';
function extractAndConcatenateDate() {
  // Find the elements by the dynamic selector
  var cardElement = document.querySelector(dynamicSelector);

  if (!cardElement) {
    return 'Element not found';
  }

  // Find the elements by their class names or other attributes
  var dateElement = cardElement.querySelector('.sc-ABC1 .sc-XYZ1');
  var monthElement = cardElement.querySelector('.sc-ABC2 .sc-XYZ2');

  // Extract the text content from the elements
  var date = dateElement.textContent;
  var month = monthElement.textContent;

  // Return the concatenated date and month as a string
  return date + month;
}

// Call the function and return the concatenated date and month as a string
return extractAndConcatenateDate();

I need to get the return value as text.

Since, it is returning as an Object, I thought and tried out the following approach.

  1. Create a new power automate variable using "Set variable" action: tempVar = "tempContent"
  2. In the JS fn, added a statement ( '%tempVar%' = date+month; ) hoping the text content will be updated to this power automate variable.
  3. Execute the "Run JavaScript function on web page".
  4. But tempVar still contains "tempContent" only.

So far, I can see only two options:-

  1. find a way to update tempVar inside JS function
  2. find a way to get text value from the returned [object Object]

I also tried using JSON.stringify while returning but still no luck!

Please provide your suggestions on this problem using Power Automate Desktop Flow.

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...
