Manual and Automated Steps

As stated in section Workflows Overview > Workflow Steps, some workflow steps are categorized as manual and automated steps.

Actions and Decisions

Both automated and manual steps are additionally categorized into:

• actions (person Manual Actions, cloud_queue Automated Actions) – separate activities, for example, local_taxi Deploy Alarm Response

• decisions (person Manual Decisions, cloud_queue Automated Decisions) – activities that include

  • a conditional statement with a number of possible results (success, failure, etc.)
  • the corresponding conditional branches (one branch per result) to which some follow-up steps must be added
    
    

tip

For example, the cloud_queue Automated Decisions > phone Twilio Alarm Verification step has five conditional branches with steps preconfigured for each branch:

• the done Alarm Verified ()  branch – activated when the correct alarm verification code is provided
• the close False Alarm ()  branch – activated when the false alarm code is provided
• the priority_high Wrong Code  branch – activated when an incorrect alarm code is provided
• the phone_missed Unreachable  branch – activated when the phone number cannot be reached
