Core Concepts
Actions
Learn how to use actions to perform tasks in your workflow
Actions are the building blocks of your workflow. They define what tasks your workflow will perform when triggered.
Think of actions as the “what” of your workflow - they define the specific operations and tasks that will be executed in sequence.
When building a workflow in the Workflows Builder, actions are added after selecting a trigger. The actions you choose will determine what your workflow actually does with the data it receives.
Adding Actions
