An activity is an operation performed at a specific business process step. With such operations, you can implement a complex branched logic. For this purpose, a script or process is created and configured in the custom module. After the module is enabled, the operations defined in it will appear in the business process designer as graphical elements for modeling.
The user can reuse the action multiple times by dragging and dropping the element onto any process diagram and configuring it.
Actions that have a script with a synchronous execution can be called in scripts that are set up in a module or another system component.
For an action to be executed, the module at whose level it is created must be enabled.
