ActionsActions are the fundamental building blocks used in workflows. They can range from simple tasks, such as navigating between pages, to complex operations, such as adding data to a table. Workflows consist of actions and operations that work together to execute tasks. Blocks and utilities can be added to a page to make utility actions available for use in workflows. These actions can be used for a variety of purposes, such as setting a state variable or focusing an input on the page.

Operations
Operations are a unique set of action that allow you to control the flow of your workflow.
For Each"For each" allows you to perform the same set of actions on multiple data records. With a "For each," you can pass in a set of data and loop over each record in the set, executing the same actions on each one. This is particularly useful when you need to perform a repetitive task on a large number of data records, such as updating a database or sending emails to a list of subscribers.
Prop Name
Type
Default
  • Type
    Data Types
    Empty
  • Data
    Data Selector
    Unset
If/ElseIf/Else operations can be used to make “If” statements followed by actions to run if the condition is true. You can also add Else If’s which can be alternative conditions in your operation. Operations are executed from left to right and the first one to be true is the flow that will continue.
Prop Name
Type
Default
  • Condition
    Boolean
Return Value & Error
Certain actions return values that you can reference as a source in later action in the same workflow. For instance, creating a new row in a table returns two values: "row" and "error". The "row" value is the actual data that was saved in the table, and the "error" value is a message that explains why the row could not be saved. If everything went well and there were no errors, the "error" value will be false. You can use this information to give your users context of errors and create alternative flows.
