Get Document Analysis Status

The Get Document Analysis Status activity uses the Amazon Textract GetDocumentAnalysis API to asynchronously retrieve the status of an existing or previously executed document analysis job (JobId).

After retrieving the document analysis, the activity returns the job status as a String value that you can use as a condition to run other activities (e.g. Get Document Analysis).

To avoid overloading the Amazon Textract service with requests, it's recommended that you implement a delay between each execution of this activity (e.g., add the Get Document Analysis Status and a Delay activity inside a Do While activity - see example section below)

How It Works

The following steps and message sequence diagram is an example of how the activity works from design time (i.e., the activity dependencies and input/output properties) to run time.

Complete the Setup steps.
Add the Amazon Scope activity to your project.
Add an activity or run an external process that outputs a JobId value (e.g., Start Document Analysis).
Add the Get Document Analysis Status inside the Amazon Scope activity.
Enter values for the Input properties.
Create and enter a String variable for your Output property.
Run the activity.
- Your input properties are sent to the GetDocumentAnalysis API.
- The API returns the String value to your output property variable.
