Add logic and automation
Replace manual work by adding logic and automation to your app in App Engine Studio (AES).
Application templates automatically add logic and automation to your application.
| Automation | Definition | Example | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decision | Decisions decouple logic from code by creating decision rules, such as inputs that evaluate data from existing records, external data sources, or data provided at runtime. | Automatically apply cascading discounts to different products based on the increasing number of units ordered. | |
| Email notification | Notifications are emails that are automatically sent when the specified conditions are met. | Automatically send an email when a new support record is created. | |
| Flow | A flow is a sequence of reusable actions, initiated by a trigger event, and passing variables between actions. |
Automatically generate a Twitter post when an incident is closed or send an email when a record in a specific table is updated or created (record-based flow). |
|
| Process | Processes are cross-enterprise workflows that enable you to create a single, unified process. Processes can include multiple flows. | Standardize and automate how agents handle chat interactions with VIP users. |
注:
If you’re using source control to collaborate with other developers, only changes that have been checked in are available to other developers. For example, if an admin creates a
new flow for an app that’s linked to Git, the new flow won’t be available in the app for other AES users until the admin checks the flow into Git.
