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.
