Activities
Activities
Automation includes a variety of built-in activities that serve as building blocks and individual functions you can add to a workflow. These activities handle operations such as date and time manipulation, JSON and XML parsing, and HTTP requests, among others. To view the list of activities supported in workflows, go to Automations > Workspace. Click New Workflow or select an existing workflow to open the Workflow Editor. The left panel in the Workflow Editor displays the list of activities currently supported by workflows.
Common Activity Properties
Each activity has both general and activity-specific properties that must be configured. Depending on the activity, you might need to configure Targets or Account Keys.
The following General properties are common among activities:
| Property Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Display Name | Provide a descriptive name for the activity (required). |
| Description | Provide a short description of the activity (optional). |
| Activity Timeout | Enter the amount of time in seconds that Automation will attempt to complete an activity (required). |
| Continue Workflow Execution on Failure | Check the check box to continue the workflow if this activity fails (optional). |
| Skip Activity Execution | Check this check box to bypass running the activity during the workflow execution (optional). |
Logic Components
Logic components add flexibility to your workflows by allowing you to include elements such as groups, conditions, and loops. To access the Logic components, click the 
(Logic) icon at the top of the Activities panel. For more information, see the Logic help topic.
