     • Category Name: Provide the name of the category you want to retrieve.
2. Execution:
   • The activity executes asynchronously, retrieving the category object that matches the specified project and category name.

Considerations

• Data Integrity: Ensure that the project ID and category name are correctly specified to avoid errors during retrieval. The category name must match exactly as stored in the system.
• Unique Names: Ensure that category names are unique within the project to avoid ambiguity. If multiple categories share the same name, ensure you have a mechanism to handle such cases.
• Permissions: Verify that the necessary permissions are in place for the user or application retrieving the category to prevent unauthorized actions.
• Error Handling: Implement error handling to manage potential issues such as network connectivity problems or invalid input data.
