Automation Workflow#

A Workflow defines business logic responses in the form of a connected graph for multiple events as provided by one of the Automation Driver Definitions referenced by the Automation Controller.

This page will display Standalone Workflows that you may reuse when setting up your Automation Controller.

How It Works#

The Automation Workflow graph links outputs from one Task to the inputs of other Tasks. Each Workflow Task must implement a standard interface and it must contain:

  • Meta-data description - describing at least its name, version, inputs and outputs.
  • A visual part - to be integrated in a visual designer, identical to the one used in the Automation Controller.
  • A business logic part (in Javascript) - to be executed by the automation controller during runtime.

Note

Users can connect to a machine to run the engine and emulate machine events through the Automation Workflow.

You can access detailed information on how to use the workflow designer in the Workflow Designer page.
