Add Entity (Activity)


  • Purpose: To create a new data entity within the system's data store.

  • Functionality: The "Add Entity" activity allows you to insert a new record or object into a defined entity type. You would typically configure this activity with:
    • Entity Type: The type of entity you want to create (e.g., "Customer", "Order", "Product").
    • Entity Properties/Data: The data values for the attributes or fields of the new entity. This data might come from workflow variables, previous activity outputs, or user input.

  • Use Cases:
    • Creating New Records: Adding new customers, orders, products, or other data entities to your application's database.
    • Data Ingestion: Creating new entities based on data received from external systems, APIs, or user input.
    • Workflow Data Persistence: Saving data generated or processed within a workflow as new entities in the data store.
