Configuring the action

The last step is configuring the custom action that you have written. For the purpose of this example we will create new WEBCON application called HelloWorldApplication with HelloWorldProcess which will contain just two steps – Start and Finish (positive). We will attach created action on exit path from Start step.

Start with creating the structure like below:

example-workflow

Next, create a form field inside your process which will be updated using our custom action.

example-attribute

In order to make this form field visible on your forms, you have to check the appropriate checkbox in field matrix tab inside your Main form configuration.

attribute-visibility

Then to add the custom action to be triggered On exit from the Start step. Add new automation, set its type to ‘Run an SDK action’.

new-automation

Next select Properties from the dropdown list.

automation-properties

Now you can select plugin from ‘Plugin (SDK)’ dropdown.

choose-plugin

Once you have done this you can click ‘Configure’ button to fill configuration of your custom action.

Make sure to save your process to confirm all your changes.

And that’s it. You have created your very first custom action which will modify the value of the defined form field. Congratulations!
