Actions
Actions are the steps that run after the trigger. They do the work: call AI, send messages, create records, run sub-workflows, and more.
How actions work
- Each step has inputs (configuration and data, often including variables from the trigger or earlier steps) and outputs (results you can use in later steps).
- Steps run in order. You reference previous outputs with variables (e.g.
#StepName.field#). See Variables.
