JavaScript (Activity)

• Purpose: To execute JavaScript code snippets directly within a workflow.
  
  
• Functionality: The "JavaScript" activity allows you to write and run JavaScript code as part of your workflow execution.
  You would typically configure this activity with:
• Script Editor: A text editor or code area where you can write your JavaScript code.
• Input Variables: Mechanism to pass data from the workflow into the JavaScript code as variables.
• Output Variables: Mechanism to capture values returned by the JavaScript code and make them available as workflow variables for subsequent activities.
• JavaScript Engine: The workflow engine uses a JavaScript runtime environment to execute the provided code. Depending on the engine, you might have access to built-in JavaScript objects and potentially some workflow-specific APIs or libraries.


• Use Cases:
• Complex Data Transformations: Performing intricate data manipulations, calculations, or formatting that are not easily achievable with standard activities.
• Custom Business Logic: Embedding specific business rules, validations, or algorithms directly into the workflow using JavaScript.
• String Manipulation and Text Processing: Performing advanced string operations, parsing text data, or generating dynamic text content.
• Data Integration and Mapping: Transforming data between different formats or mapping data structures from external systems to workflow variables.
• Conditional Logic (Advanced): Implementing more complex conditional logic beyond simple "Decision" activities, using JavaScript's branching and control flow capabilities.
