Aqtra Platform includes two important components that are responsible for operations automation - Dataflow and Workflow.

Dataflow is a set of automated operations focused on managing data that can be received from forms, Aqtra components, over external interfaces or via other means. The data can be automatically queried, transformed and transmitted both internally to Aqtra components, as well as externally over integration APIs. Additionally, Dataflows can execute workflows and even manipulate UI - for example open specific forms or components.

Workflows are state-machine based sequences of actions, that can both be automated actions such as executing dataflows, updating data, as well as interactions with human users such as getting user acknowledgement or sending user a notification in different ways and formats. Workflows also include ability to check conditions such as if/then or multiple switch (case) scenarios.

Both dataflows and workflows consist of configurable multiple, unlimited stages, with each stage containing one or more steps, as well as dependencies between steps.

Both dataflows and workflows are set up to be invoked (executed) as upon user action from UI (for example, using Button UI control).

Workflows are configured using Workflow Visual Builder. Dataflows are configured using Visual Builder of Dataflows.
