Configuring an Activity

After adding an activity, you must configure it with the required input data. Also configure the output schema for activities that generate an output.

There are three ways to configure data for an activity:

  • Configuring static data where you manually type the data in the mapper for the field. For example, type in a string that you want to output. Strings must be enclosed in double quotes. Numbers must be typed in without quotes.
  • Mapping an Activity input to the output from one of the activities preceding it in the flow, provided that the previous activities have some output.
  • Using functions. For example, the concat function to concatenate two strings.

To configure an activity:

    Procedure
  1. On the flow details page, click an activity.

    The configuration box opens beneath the activity.

  2. Click each tab in the configuration box under the activity name and either manually enter the required value, use a function, or on the Input tab, map the output from the trigger or a preceding activity using the mapper. Refer to the Mapper section for details on mapping.
    If one or more activities are not configured properly in a flow, the error or warning icon is displayed in its upper-right corner. Click the activity whose tab contains the error or warning. For more details, see the Errors and Warnings.
