This document describes what tasks are, the supported tasks in Application Integration, and how to use them in your integrations.
Overview
A task is a well-defined unit of work in an integration. In general, tasks can take an input,
complete a unit of work using the input, and produce an output. You can use different types of tasks in your integration to solve a particular business problem. A task is triggered by a trigger or another task.
You can add tasks to your integration from the Tasks list. You can search, browse, and select the task that you want to add. The following image shows the list of options that appear when you click Tasks in the integration editor.
Connectors
Connectors are a type of task that allow you to connect to an external system or service. You can
use connectors to perform various tasks such as reading data from a database, sending an email, or
making a REST call. You can add a recently created connection or any supported connectors to your integration. For more information about Connectors task, see Connectors task. The following image shows the list of recently created connections and supported connectors that appear in the Tasks list.
You can search for connectors, connections, and tasks by entering the name in the Search field. The list shows the matching connectors, connections, and tasks. You can select the element that you want to add to your integration.
