I have got a 2013 workflow (developped with Visual Studio 2012) on a document library. It starts when a new document is created.
How can I get the document title to use it in my workflow?
Thanks for your help

You need to use the LookupSPListItem and GetDynamicValueProperties actions to retrieve list item values.
Add the
LookupSPListItemaction to your sequence.In the
LookupSPListItemaction, specifycurrentitemandcurrentlistfor your item/list values.Click the
Get Propertieslink to generate aGetDynamicValuePropertiesaction.Specify the source as list item of your list. Then specify the values you wish to retrieve (Title, in your case), as well as the variables to store the values in.
You can find visuals and more details here.

Thanks for your response but it's exactly what I've done. And title is empty. Maybe because the list use content type?– miniilCommented Sep 16, 2014 at 11:50

Do a REST query on your library. With the info returned, get the internal name of the field containing the value you need, and use that.– wjervisCommented Sep 16, 2014 at 11:55

It wouldn't be done in a workflow. Just enter the following in your web browser:
<site>/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('<yourlibrary>')/Items. If using IE, you may need to disable feed reading– wjervisCommented Sep 16, 2014 at 12:02 -
Sorry, but I don't understand because I need to get the title in my workflow to use it (for example send an email with the title).– miniilCommented Sep 16, 2014 at 12:07
