     * **Parameter**: the JSON key of the parameter, basically an identifier.
     * **Description**: an optional, short explanation of what the parameter is.
     * **Type**: the data type of the parameter, can be either **String**, **Number**, **Boolean** or **List**.
3. In the Action Flow, use `Result.setAPI` function block to indicate that the task is finished, and also to provide the resulting data to return. The Inspector content will change depending on the format set.
   * **text**: A single parameter named "text" will appear. ![](https://489318254-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FKpIso420Eq6T1MZWmK3R%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-475e81cb0c16d5818cd2ce13884b600e0d1cedcc%2FResult-flow-text.png?alt=media)
   * **json**: A list of parameter will appear according to the parameter list set in Result earlier. ![](https://489318254-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FKpIso420Eq6T1MZWmK3R%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-a8f5f4e97de9bf8d41827b988ba1f6b909fa7e88%2FResult-flow-json.png?alt=media)
