Definition and Usage

Generate a random number that falls between a minimum and maximum value. This command allows you to create random integer values within a specified range, which can be useful for simulations, testing scenarios, or any process that requires randomization.


Parameter Values

Input parameters

Parameter

Description

Possible Values

Required

Options / Notes

Minimum number

The lower boundary for the random number to generate

Integer value

Yes

The minimum value is inclusive

Maximum number

The upper boundary for the random number to generate

Integer value

Yes

The maximum value is inclusive

Store result into

Store the random number into a new variable

Variable name

Yes

The variable will contain the generated random integer

Error handling

Parameter Name

Description

Throw error & stop

When an error occurs, the action will trigger an error and stop the execution of the entire app.

Retry command

If an error occurs, the action will retry the command in an attempt to resolve the issue and continue the process.

Ignore error & continue

When an error occurs, the action will be ignored, and the workflow will continue without interruption.

Variables produced

This action produces a variable containing the generated random number. The variable will store an integer value that falls between the specified minimum and maximum values (inclusive).


Using Variables in Conditions

You can use variables in both the minimum and maximum number fields by clicking the {x} icon. This allows you to dynamically set the range based on previously defined variables. For example, you might use variables that were calculated earlier in your workflow to determine the boundaries for random number generation.


Notes

  • Both the minimum and maximum values are inclusive in the random number generation.

  • If the minimum value is greater than the maximum value, the command will generate an error.

  • The generated random number will always be an integer.

  • This command is useful for simulations, testing with random data, or creating randomized workflows.
