Generic JavaScript View -- Understanding Flow Variable options

I am trying to create a line graph via HTML structure and send it out via email. Here are the following steps that I want to implement in a KNIME workflow:

  1. Use a “General JavaScript View” node to create an HTML structure using D3 with a line graph.

  2. Extract the HTML produced and save it to a Flow Variable for future usage.

  3. Add the flow variable to a “Send Email” node.

Does anyone have guidance on how to achieve step 2 above? What is the syntax required to create a new flow variable from within a Generic JavaScript View node?

For additional context, I am using KNIME version 4.6.1, and I am looking for some sort of documentation to figure out how to use the following:

Hi @rrembert3,

I’m afraid your second point – extracting the view’s HTML – isn’t a simple task.
You will find a related question and answer here Button to download a page from the Web app - #2 by DanielBog , but I’m not sure how exactly this would work in the end.

Kind regards

This might be possible as shown in the screenshot. On the local execution you need to open the view and click on apply.
