Re: HTTP request v20+ not expanding switch variables (maybe?)

Freddy shared a helpful workaround to resolve this issue. Solution: Insert double square brackets ([[) for the array’s opening bracket (but not at the last bracket). This prevents conflicts with Switch meta-data brackets while still producing valid JSON for the endpoint. Example: { "company&quo...

Re: HTTP request v20+ not expanding switch variables (maybe?)

It would be a neat feature in the HTTP Request app to be able to substitute array brackets with other characters.

Re: HTTP request v20+ not expanding switch variables (maybe?)

Isn't the problem that hard brackets [ ] is used for both Switch variables and the array in the JSON? I use this clunky work-a-round: Using Create text file to create a JSON but for the array brackets I instead use the place-holder-text startarray and stoparray . After Create text file I use String ...

Re: Switch flow

1. In the Preflight output connection "Carry this type of jobs" you choose 'Data with log'.
2. In the Checkpoint you set "Enable report viewing" to Yes.

Re: Creating variables from Pitstop report xml

I was thinking of the same solution, but how would you add leading zeros when one file is names 57 and another 158 (to get 0057 and 0158)?

Re: Creating variables from Pitstop report xml

I can think of a couple of ways to do this. Do you have the scripting module for Switch?

Re: Mail Receive with OAuth2.0

I use the function "Move to IMAP-folder" as a solution.

Re: Add slug line (Current page no)

freddyp wrote: Wed Sep 10, 2025 8:35 am The solution is much simpler than that: just add %Page Number% in your string in the place where you have [CurrentPageNumber].
Thanks Freddy! I didn't know that standard PitStop variables would work that way!

In this case no. The files comes from an outside source.

Add slug line (Current page no) [SOLVED]

Hi! I’m building a Switch flow where I need to add a slug line to an imposed PDF. My plan is to insert the text using a PitStop Action within the flow. The slug line should look like this: [Job.NameProper] Page: [CurrentPageNumber] of [Stats.NumberOfPages] Date: [Switch.Date:Format="yyyy-MM-dd&...

If you want to assemble files from different job folders you need to first add a 'Job dismantler' then use 'Assemble job'.

Re: Naming and keeping track of jobs that have been imposed

It sounds like it might be a good idea to take a step back and rethink the workflow. Software delivers the best results when you first sketch out the workflow you want, before building it in Switch. A great starting point is to involve the press operators and ask what information they need in the fi...
