Using Workflows
Workflows are the primary component of ACP. Each workflow is an independent entity using its own connectors, inside which multiple steps can be created to chain together actions from separate API services.
For information on adding connectors to a workflow, see Connectors. For detailed information on working with workflow steps, see the next section, Workflow Steps.
Creating a New Workflow
A new workflow can be created from the “New Workflow” button in the primary actions menu, or by the “New Workflow” button just after login.
...
Once a new workflow is created, it immediately appears in the main ACP editor.
Editing Basic Fields
The upper-left area of the ACP editor shows basic information about the workflow, all of which can be edited in place.
...
The description box is a free-form text field which can contain any notes that are associated with this workflow, and directly edited by double clicking on the current description, then clicking anywhere outside the description area when complete.
Workflow Preferences
Rollback Mode and Debug Mode
The ‘preferences’ link in the upper-right can be used to bring up an options menu.
...
- Enable Rollback: this setting controls whether the workflow immediately halts or rolls back executed steps when it encounters a failure condition, or is unable to find an appropriate Route at the end of a step.
- Debug Mode: this setting controls whether or not detailed debug output is shown at the end of workflow execution within the ACP GUI. It has no effect on execution via API calls. For an example of how to use Debug mode, see Quick-Start Tutorial 2.
