Triggered Task respond with plain unformed text (not JSON)

Question

Hello,
How can I make a triggered pipeline respond with plain text vs something structured?
e.g., it should return:
My Return Text Here
and not anything like this:
[
{
returnText: “My Return Text Here”
}
]
Thanks!

You need to have an unlinked binary output view.  With the latest release (4.17) you can change a Mapper’s output view to be binary and then write the string you want to $content.  Would probably also be wise to set $['content-type'] to text/plain.

Here’s how you change the output view through the ‘Views’ tab in the Mapper settings:

I’m attaching a pipeline that demonstrates this:

(If you haven’t upgraded yet, you can use a DocumentToBinary snap in a similar fashion)
