Custom Action Step
The Custom action step is currently available only when using the Novu Framework for code-based Workflows.
The Custom action step empowers you to execute custom logic and maintain its state within the durable execution context of a workflow. This step’s output can seamlessly feed into subsequent steps of the Workflow, enabling powerful and dynamic workflows tailored to your needs.
Common Use Cases:
- API Integrations: Make API calls to third-party services for data retrieval, updates, or triggering external actions.
- Database Queries: Fetch data from a database to dynamically adapt subsequent steps in your Workflow.
- Data Transformation: Execute custom logic to process, manipulate, or enhance data before passing it forward.
- Custom Provider Implementation: Build and integrate custom providers to extend functionality as needed.
- Subscriber Tagging: Add Tags to Subscribers (users) at specific workflow steps.
- Examples of Tags:
- Tag users with the Workflow and Step they are on to create Segments, Topics or target specific groups later.
- Use tags to trigger In-App notification as part of the user Workflow journey. For example, tag users at a key step, then set up an In-App notification targeting everyone with that Tag.
- Examples of Tags:
With Custom Action, you can craft highly personalized and intelligent Workflows, ensuring flexibility and precision in your notification journey Workflows.
