Assume that a Workflow process can be triggered when an XML file appears in a certain folder.
The XML file contains data that you want to show on a web page.
Add a Set Job Infos and Variables Task to the Workflow process. Define a Job Info (see Set
Job Infos), say, %9, and fill it with data from the XML, for example:
xmlget('/request[1]/values[1]/first[1]',Value,KeepCase,NoTrim)
In Connect Designer, you can use the automation object to retrieve the value in a script, like
this:
var my_var = automation.jobInfos.JobInfo9;

In a Control Script, the context object represents one context in the template.
