Terminologies

The following terms are used in this guide:

Table 1. Basic Terms
Basic Terms	Description
Action	A configurable task within a flow, which can be a Primitive or Composite. Primitive actions provide basic functions such as Set Variables, Conditions, or HTTP requests. Composite actions are built using primitive actions and provide more complex operations.
Activity	A generic term referring to any trigger, flow, action, or anything that 'runs' or 'does something'.
Flow	A group of configurable actions that initiate with a trigger and are executed from left to right. It includes defined inputs, throughputs, and outputs that can be used to pass information, which can be retrieved once the flow is completed. It also includes local and shared variables that are available throughout the flow.
Node	A general term referring to any object within a flow.
Template	Pre-built globally available flows that can be cloned locally into the admin's account. Once cloned, these templates become flows that can be configured to work within the admin's environment.
Trigger	The first node in a flow. It initiates a flow and specifies the conditions under which it should be executed or triggered. It can be either Composite or Primitive and is available globally.
Worker	A unique running instance of a flow with its own GUID.
