Playbook Tasks
LAST UPDATED: MAR 3, 2025
Tasks are the building blocks of automation playbooks, driving workflows through predefined actions tailored to business requirements, data transformations, and decision logic. Where necessary, interactive elements may be integrated to provide enhanced flexibility and operational oversight.
For each playbook type, the most commonly used task types are immediately visible in the task menu, while additional task types are organized under the popover menu.
