OutputPath - AWS Step Functions

OutputPath

OutputPath enables you to select a portion of the state output to pass to the next state. This enables you to filter out unwanted information, and pass only the portion of JSON that you care about.

If you don't specify an OutputPath the default value is $. This passes the entire JSON node (determined by the state input, the task result, and ResultPath) to the next state.

Tip

Use the data flow simulator in the Step Functions console to test JSON path syntax, to better understand how data is manipulated within a state, and to see how data is passed between states.
