ETH Tx Task

Suggest Edits

Makes a mutating transaction to the specified contract with the specified data payload. The transaction is guaranteed to succeed eventually.

Parameters

  • from: the address of the externally-owned from which to send the transaction.
  • to: the address of the contract to make a transaction to.
  • data: the data to attach to the call (including the function selector). Most likely, this will be the output of an ethabiencode task.
  • gasLimit: the amount of gas to attach to the transaction.
  • txMeta: a map of metadata that is saved into the database for debugging.

Outputs

The hash of the transaction attempt that eventually succeeds (after potentially going through a gas bumping process to ensure confirmation).

Example

encode_tx    [type="ethabiencode"
              abi="performUpkeep(bytes performData)"
              data=<{ "data": $(upkeep_data) }>]

submit_tx    [type="ethtx"
               to="0xa36085F69e2889c224210F603D836748e7dC0088"
               data="$(encode_tx)"]
