Run Task (Activity)

• Purpose: To execute a specific task or operation within the workflow. This is a very generic activity and its exact behavior depends heavily on the workflow engine and its task execution capabilities.
  
  
• Functionality: The "Run Task" activity is likely a placeholder or a base activity that can be customized or extended to perform various types of tasks. It might:
• Task Definition: Require configuration to specify the task to be executed (e.g., a script, a function call, an external process invocation, a system command).
• Task Parameters: Allow passing input parameters to the task being executed.
• Task Execution Context: Provide a context for task execution within the workflow environment.
• Task Result Handling: Capture the result or output of the task for use in subsequent workflow steps.
  
  
• Use Cases:
• Executing Custom Code: Running scripts (e.g., Python, JavaScript) or custom code snippets within a workflow.
• Invoking External Processes or Commands: Executing external programs, command-line tools, or system commands from within a workflow.
• Integrating with Custom Logic: Wrapping custom business logic or application-specific operations within a workflow activity.
• Performing Data Transformations: Using tasks to transform data, perform calculations, or manipulate data formats.
