    const triggerStep = new EventStep(newSale);

const actionStep = integration.actions.createInvoice({
        CustomerId: `${triggerStep.output.customer_id}`,
        invoiceLinesV1: `[
            {
                "Amount": ${triggerStep.output.amount},

                        "name": ${triggerStep.output.name},
                        "value": "1"
                    }
                }
            }
        ]`,
