  • To execute the event schema, you need a trigger, which initiates the Autom Flow.

• Flow Components

  • Explore various tools and components available to create and manage your events comprehensively.

• Workboard

  • Design your process flow on the workboard, which serves as the starting and ending point for your processes.

• Variables

  • Manage a list of variables that can be used within flow diagrams, allowing for dynamic process design.

Library Categories

Automate features three main library categories: "Integration", "Transforms" and "Utility". These categories are built upon system libraries developed by Automate and custom libraries created by either Automate or Citizen Developers.

System Libraries

• Developed by Automate and pre-installed in the platform.

• Cannot be deactivated and automatically load during installation.

• Examples include MS Teams, Active Directory, and more.

Custom Libraries

• Created by Automate or Citizen Developers.

• Available for download or updates from the Library Store.
• Enhance Flow's flexibility and cater to a wide range of applications.

Accessing Libraries

Libraries are essential for process improvement and can be accessed in two ways:

1. Navigate Through Libraries

   • On the left menu, select the relevant library category, choose the desired libraries, and drag them into your flow diagram as needed.
2. Use the Shortcut

   • Click the "+" button between the "start" and "stop" actions to quickly access the library categories and components.
