Working with an external map in a Route

Use the PutValueToExternalMap and GetValueFromExternalMap functions to define and use external map variables in a map.

About this task

In this example, you want to create a Route that sends information about an order. In this Route, you will store the current date in an external map variable, create a message body that contains details about the order and create a map that calculates the total price of the order, defines a shipping date and creates more external map variables.
