What is a workflow templates

In Data Mover, a workflow template is a sequence of tasks achieving a specific goal. Workflow templates play a crucial role in the creation of contracts, as each contract action must be associated to a specific workflow template.

Workflow templates have three key components:

  1. Triggers: they define when an instance of the workflow template should be created, specifying the event that initiates the workflow template. This could include occurrences such as the arrival of a file, a specific point in time, or an on-demand trigger via an API.

  2. Service Tasks: they define the actions designed in the workflow template.

  3. Variables: they are the values that will be initialized in the single actions of the contracts, thus allowing the same workflow template to be reused across different contracts.
