Icon
Description
new_activities_icon.png Built-in activities that serve as building blocks and individual functions you can add to a workflow. For more information, see Activities
atomic.png Atomics actions are small, self-contained workflows. For more information, see Atomic Actions.
cisco_managed_atomics.png Cisco-managed atomics are reusable workflow components maintained by Cisco to simplify and standardize automation across Cisco platforms. For more information, see Atomic Actions.
conditions.png Specify multiple paths for your workflow based on a series of one or more conditions. For more information, see Logic Activities - Condition Block.
logic.png Logic activities allow you to perform actions such as creating loops, setting conditions for branching, and choosing specific start and endpoints in a workflow. For more information, see Logic Activities.
loops.png A loop is a control structure in Automation that repeats a set of activities—using For Each (per array item), While Loop (while a condition is true), Break (exit loop), and Continue (skip to next iteration or continue after a failure). For more information, see Logic Activities.
workflows_icon.png Workflows allow you to automate responses and eliminate repetitive tasks, using activities, logic, and even other workflows to communicate with other systems and resources.
tasks.png Tasks enable your workflows to ask for user input before taking an action. For more information, see Tasks.
database.png Automation can use Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) API calls to update database tables on a remote database server. You can also use database tables as the data source for a For Each Loop to iterate through each row in the table. For more information, see Database.
tables.png Tables allow you to store structured in tables that are similar to a spreadsheet. For more information, see Table activities.
files.png File operations. Workflows are mostly limited to downloading files from a remote source and uploading files to a remote destination. For more information, see File Operations.
new_python.png Execute scripts from a defined list of Python functions. For more information, see Python.
