Actions

Automate any action.

Trigger. Reason. Integrate. Communicate. Control. Govern.Every verb your workflow needs, ready to compose.

The Grammar

Every workflow is the same six moves.

A run is triggered. It reasons over your data. It communicates. Control logic shapes the path. Gates govern the decision and bring in people where stakes require it. It ends at a terminal.

Triggers

Starting an Action

Every workflow begins with a trigger. An event happens, data arrives, a schedule fires, or a person clicks start. The trigger is the moment work begins.

Queue

Start when records arrive

Schedule

Run on a recurring schedule

Human Start

Launch by hand

Webhook

Start from an inbound HTTP call

Receive Email

Start when an email lands

Receive Text

Start from an inbound text

Reasoning

Intelligence at Work

The reasoning actions are where a model thinks. Send a prompt, classify an input, summarize content, extract structured fields, or generate documents of any length.

Run Prompt

Send a prompt to a model and capture the response

Classify

Assign categories to any input

Summarize

Extract the essential from the verbose

Extract Data

Pull structured data from unstructured text

Generate Document

Produce a formatted document

Generate Complex Document

Multipass complex documents

Data

Connect to Data Anywhere

Read from databases, retrieve context via RAG, match and update records, store files, search by meaning, call APIs, scrape the web, or run custom code. Ground reasoning in live data.

Run SQL

Read from or write to any SQL database

Retrieve via RAG

Pull live context into a model call

Match Record

Find the matching record in a dataset

Create / Update Record

Write or revise a record

Read Storage

Read a stored file or object

Save to Storage

Persist a file or object

Semantic Search

Search by meaning, not keywords

API

Call any REST or GraphQL endpoint

Webscrape

Extract data from web pages

Execute Code

Run custom code inside the workflow

Analyze

Run any analysis over a dataset

Predict

Train and invoke Machine Learning models

Communication

Reach People and Systems

Send messages, post to channels, invite to meetings, collect surveys, broadcast across platforms, build consensus, and remind when needed. Every way to reach people, built into the workflow.

Send Email

Send an email

Send Text

Send a text message

Post to Social

Publish to social channels

Invite

Send invitations to events or actions

Survey

Collect structured responses

Notify

Push alerts to people or systems

Broadcast

Send across multiple channels

Gain Consensus

Gather agreement from a group

Remind

Send follow-up reminders

Control

Shape the Flow

Loop through sets, branch on conditions, wait for signals, run steps in parallel, call other workflows, and merge paths back together. Control logic that shapes how work moves.

Loop

Repeat steps across a set

Branch

Split the path on a condition

Wait

Pause for a duration or signal

Parallel

Run steps at the same time

Call Workflow

Invoke another workflow as a step

Join

Merge parallel paths back together

Gates

Govern and Bring in People

Evaluate output against criteria, require approvals, escalate to authority, route to human review, request input, and log audit checkpoints. Gates are where stakes meet judgment.

Evaluate Gate

Check output against acceptance criteria

Approval

Require sign-off before proceeding

Escalate

Route to a higher authority

Human Review

Send to a person to review

Request Input

Pause and ask a person for input

Audit

Log a checkpoint for compliance trail

The Canvas

Compose anything. Scale automatically.

Drag an action onto the canvas. Connect it to the next. Branch, loop, run steps in parallel, call one workflow from inside another. The same canvas builds a two-step automation or a forty-step orchestration.

Enterprise Runtime

Built for thousands of workloads. Built to pass the audit.

When volume spikes, a single workflow fans out across thousands of concurrent instances, then scales to zero when the work is done. Light actions run as serverless functions. Heavy, long-running, or complex work runs as containers. Control orchestrates the fabric across Azure and AWS, on-premises, or fully air-gapped.

Compliance is met through deployment configuration and the audit trail, not a checkbox.
You choose where data lives: your cloud, your data center, or an air-gapped enclave.
Every action and every decision is logged, with no added instrumentation.

Governed

Reach is one thing. Control is another.

A gate is where the workflow stops and decides who decides.

The Machine Checks

Evaluate Gate

Checks Output Against your Decision Architecture

A Person Is Brought In

Approval
Escalate
Human Review
Request Input

Most checks pass. The workflow continues, no person needed.

When stakes rise, the gate routes

Build any workflow

Actions. Decisions. Judgment.
Build the workflow that earns.

Compose it graphically. Run it on infrastructure that scales. Govern it with gates and human judgment.
