Component actions ​

Component actions in Workflow apps provide a dynamic and interactive user experience by enabling real-time responses to UI events such as button clicks, page loads, drop-down value changes, and table row selections. This enables users to complete a range of tasks, including:

  • Run recipe: Allow users to complete tasks that involve external systems directly within the app interface
  • Reset/reload components: Clear component values or reload a component after an action is taken
  • Open a webpage: Direct app-users to a specific URL
  • Complete a task: Review, approve, and complete requests within the Workflow apps portal
  • Save data to table: Save request and approval data in a data table

Compatible components ​

Specific page components have the Action property which enables you to define the action to take within the page editor. The following table describes available actions and compatible components:

Default actions ​

Button components must have a defined action. All other component actions have a default state of Do nothing. This means that you must configure components to respond to user actions.

Follow-up actions ​

You can configure a follow-up action to reset/reload components after an initial Run recipe action. If you don’t configure a follow-up action, the default for all components is to Do nothing.
