User Defined Automation (Beta)
Interactor®’s user-defined automation enables users to create custom workflow using triggers and actions.
Workflow consists of below.
Trigger
A trigger is an event that starts a workflow or integration. It monitors for specific conditions or occurrences in one system, and when those conditions are met, it initiates the integration process.
Action
An action is the task or operation performed in response to the trigger. Actions can be chained to execute multiple actions in sequence.
Code
Currently supports Javascript, script allows the developers to use the language of their choice in the workflow.
HTTP
HTTP action is used to make HTTP(S) call to an API. HTTP action can be configured in a similar way you would with API testing tool like Postman.
Repeat (Loop)
To execute the same action or set of actions multiple times, often for a fixed number of iterations or based on specific criteria (value).
Example in iPaaS:
• Use Case: Send reminders to customers.
• Repeat action 3 times for each customer who has an overdue invoice.
• Workflow:
• Fetch customers with overdue invoices.
• Repeat: Send reminder email 3 times with a delay between each email.
Conditionals (alpha)
Conditional logic is currently available in Interactor as an alpha feature.
| Feature | If Condition | If Value | Case Condition | Case Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Evaluation | Logical expression | Specific value | Multiple logical checks | Multiple value checks |
| Complexity | Simple logic | Simple value matching | Complex logic branching | Value-based branching |
| Use Case | Single decision path | Single value check | Multi-path branching | Multi-path branching |
