Update Action Tools within macro

In the image below there are 2 inputs that pull data from 2 sqlite tables creating a single record with 4 fields.

Looking to use 3 of the 4 fields to update 3 action tools. Is it possible to update the action tools in a macro from within the macro? 

If so... how?

Thanks,

 

Puff

If you are trying to change fields which are updated via a control parameter - NO. you would just dump your macro and the action tool (with control parameters) in a new batch macro - and then have your main datastream feed in via the control parameters/action tool.

 

If you can update your api macro via datastream fields being passed in - there is no reason to use action tools and you can just pass in the data through a normal connection.

I figured, but thought I would ask. 

 

Thanks,
