Launch Configuration
The Launch Configuration appears as a side panel in the Designer when the rocket icon is clicked on.
The Launch Configuration is where you specify which input is needed each time you the Wrkflow is launched. Launch Configuration gives you the flexibility of providing different inputs for each individual Wrkflow Launch and changing the behavior of the launch.
Configuring the Inputs
Each input needs to have an associated data type and a name. In the example below, the Wrkflow will require a file 'attachment' and an email 'recipient email' for the Wrkflow to launch.
Once you have added the inputs, click on 'Confirm' to commit your changes.
You can provide the fields and field names of the data required for the Wrkflow run.
The types of fields available are:
• Date
• Date & Time
• File (e.g., csv)
• Link (i.e., a URL)
• Number (i.e., integer/whole number)
• Number with Decimals (i.e., float)
• Phone Number
• Short Text (maximum of 256 characters)
• Long Text (i.e., multi-line text)
• Time
• True or False
Ensure that you select confirm after entering and configuring all the applicable fields into the Launch Configuration.
Note that it is not mandatory to include fields in the Launch Configuration, but can be useful to enter information that will persist as the Wrkflow runs. This means that certain information that should stay the same (i.e., static) across multiple Wrk Actions can be entered into the Launch Configuration. An example could be a link to a Google Sheets file that will go through multiple updates across the Wrkflow run.
Once you have finished configuring the Launch Configuration, you can then add other Wrk Actions and link them by dragging the arrow to the first Wrk Action card.
After the Wrkflow is fully configured and saved, you will have to provide the value of the fields instantiated in the Seeding Card when you first launch a run of your Wrkflow.
