Action or Action Plugin in Tracardi

An action or action plugin is a modular unit of functionality that performs specific operations within a workflow. Actions are the building blocks of workflows, and they define the tasks to be executed when certain conditions or triggers are met.

Key Features of Action Plugins

  1. Modularity:

    • Action plugins are self-contained modules that can be reused across different workflows. This modularity allows for easy customization and extension of Tracardi's capabilities.

  2. Flexibility:

    • They can perform a wide range of tasks, from data transformation and enrichment to external system integrations and conditional logic.

  3. Configuration:

    • Action plugins can be configured with various parameters and options to tailor their behavior to specific requirements. Configuration can include input fields, resource connections, and processing rules.

  4. Integration:

    • They enable integration with external APIs, databases, messaging systems, and other services, allowing Tracardi to interact with a wide array of external systems.

Common Types of Action Plugins

  1. Data Transformation:

    • Plugins that manipulate or transform data, such as converting data formats, aggregating data, or filtering data based on specific criteria.

  2. External Integrations:

    • Plugins that connect to external services and APIs, such as sending emails, making HTTP requests, or writing data to a database.

  3. Conditional Logic:

    • Plugins that evaluate conditions and route data accordingly, such as IF/ELSE branches, switch cases, or comparisons.

  4. Data Enrichment:

    • Plugins that enhance data by adding additional information, such as looking up data from external sources or calculating new fields based on existing data.
