Package

A Package is a container that combines multiple actions into a single automation workflow. Each package has a defined starting point from which execution begins.

Each action performs a specific task, such as copying a file, executing a SQL statement, running a transformation, or sending an email.

After an action is executed, it returns one of the following statuses:

Success — the action completed successfully.
Failure — the action failed or a specified condition was not met.
Loop End — the current loop has completed.

The execution status determines which action is executed next. This allows packages to implement conditional logic, branching, loops, and error-handling paths.

By combining multiple actions and controlling the execution flow between them, Packages can automate simple tasks as well as complex, multi-step business processes.

Action types

Most actions have a single starting point, along with one On Success point and one On Error point. Additionally, Loop Actions include an On Loop End point, while Case Actions may have multiple On Success points.

Tip: every package must have a starting point

Linking Actions

Actions can be connected to other actions seamlessly, as demonstrated here. This is accomplished by simply dragging and dropping one item onto another.
