Using as Custom Variables:
One of the advantages of using Lookup is that when you search for a particular row, all of its data can be saved as a custom value that can be utilized throughout your workflow.
Consider the following Worksheet as an example. If you need to search for a specific row, you can enter the contact phone number or email address in the lookup section. Once the lookup function finds the matching row, it will store all the values under the corresponding header name as custom variables.
When you add a Lookup action, an index is automatically generated. This index is essential for mapping the row data to the custom variables and allows for easy identification of multiple lookup values. Removing or editing the index once it is added is impossible.
The values obtained from the lookup action for a particular row can be used in all other activities within your workflows, just like any other contact fields or custom variables.
Please Note:
As previously mentioned, the index generated by the lookup function serves as a reference and is used for internal mapping of the custom variables in lookup actions.You can use {{sheet.x.rowNumber}} to get the row number of the lookup value.
Here x is the index of the lookup action.
