Actions do the actual work in a workflow: API calls, transformations, notifications, flow control, and integrations. Use this action when your workflow needs to perform an operation, call an external service, or transform data for downstream nodes.Documentation Index

When To Use
- Integrate with legacy ticketing or ERP services.
- Submit provisioning requests to older SOAP-only systems.
Configuration Checklist
- Set WSDL URL and target SOAP operation.
- Build SOAP input payload from workflow context.
- Execute and parse result for downstream conditions/actions.
- Handle SOAP faults explicitly with error branches.
Inputs
- Required
node.datametadata:uiId,componentId, andoperation(for actions that define an operation). - Action-specific configuration fields from the node editor.
- Upstream context values from triggers or previous nodes (for example
trigger.*or prior action outputs).
Outputs
- Adds action result data to the workflow context for downstream nodes.
- May produce external side effects (API updates, notifications, scripts, SSH commands, etc.).
- Can emit structured values consumed by conditions or subsequent actions.
Failure Modes
- Missing required configuration or invalid parameter values.
- Missing/invalid context variable references from upstream nodes.
- External dependency failures (HTTP errors, auth failures, timeouts, rate limits).
- Payload validation/parsing errors during request or response handling.
Best Practices
- Prefer small, composable actions over one large action with many responsibilities.
