What is a Workflow in Astera?

Workflow is a process orchestrated to run a sequence of tasks such as running a program, sending an e-mail, executing a SQL query, etc. The tasks are executed according to a pre-defined order, following a custom logic which decides what path must be activated under what conditions.

You can also specify what should happen at each step if a task runs successfully or returns an error in a workflow. You can also route the workflow by using a Boolean condition suitable to your scenario. You can even nest another workflow or a dataflow within your workflow.

Once designed, a workflow can be deployed on the server and scheduled to run automatically as per the specified time and frequency.

To create a workflow in Astera, go to the menu bar at the top and select File > New > Workflow.
