Trying to get two postman.setNextRequest or two Actions in Workspace

New to APIs/Postman
1

Hi, I’m quite new to postman and was trying to find and piece together many snippets of scripts to make it work the way I want.
What I want is very simple: I have a list of IDs that I want to make a POST in each of them, get one of the responseBody as a variable and do another POST. I think I’m close but I can’t manage to get it to work.

I’ve tried:
Two POST actions in the same Collection and running the collection.
In this the first action I have is a POST to https://APIADDRESS/?order_id={{orderid}}&contract[copy_order_data]=true :

Pre-request Script tab:
var orderids = pm.environment.get(“orderids”);

if (!orderids) {
orderids = [“bc46bf79-2846-44ed-ac4d-78c77c92ccc8”,“81aacc33-1ade-41a3-b23e-06b03b526b8f”];
}

var currentOrderId = orderids.shift();
pm.environment.set(“orderid”, currentOrderId);
pm.environment.set(“orderids”, orderids);

Tests tab:

var orderids = pm.environment.get(“orderids”);

if (orderids && orderids.length > 0) {
var jsonData = JSON.parse(responseBody);
postman.setEnvironmentVariable(“invoice.id”, jsonData.invoice.id);
postman.setNextRequest(“Create invoice”);
} else {
postman.setNextRequest(null);

}

invoice.id is a environment variable populated with the response body of the first action/post and then using the variable on the second action/post.

And then the second action would be a POST to https://APIADDRESS/invoices/{{invoice.id}}/finalize.json:

Of course this doesn’t work.

So I thought that putting the second POST inside the first one would solve it. But without avail

Can please some one help me?

Answering my own question:
What I manage to get it working was using a Json file as a list of Orderids. In that case I’ve separated all requests.

Request1 - https://APIADDRESS/?order_id{{orderid}}&contract[copy_order_data]=true

Tests tab:

var jsonData = JSON.parse(responseBody);
postman.setEnvironmentVariable(“invoice.id”, jsonData.invoice.id);

Request2 - https://APIADDRESS/invoices/{{invoice.id}}/finalize.json

That way everything is in a neat and organized way. Thanks
