Answer 1

Hi @Piyush, to understand how an argument can be created and used  in an automation with an Invoke Workflow File activity, follow below mentioned steps one by one:

1. Create first Sequence naming Sequence1 and in the Arguments panel, create an argument, StoreValue. Set Direction as Out for this argument.
2. Now add an Assign activity to the Designer panel. Set To field as StoreValue argument and In the Value field, type a String.
   
    
3. Then create a new sequence naming Sequence2. Also create a string variable, strFinalValue.
4. Add an Invoke Workflow File activity to the Designer panel. Click Browse button and browse for the previously created Sequence1.
5. Click Import Arguments. The Invoked Workflow’s Arguments window is displayed. Note that the argument of the first sequence is displayed here.
6. In the Value field, add the strFinalValue variable and click Ok. The argument is imported and the value from it is going to be stored in the current project through the strFinalValue variable.
   
    
7. Add a MessageBox activity under the Invoke Workflow File. In the Text field, type " This argument has been imported: " + strFinalValue.
