What You Will Learn
Action Packs are preconfigured building blocks that are ready to use in your Automic Automation Workflows. Action packs are available for many common tasks, letting you automate routine processes very efficiently. This video-based course introduces you to Action Packs, and shows you how to install and use them.
The first lesson shows how to use Actions to automate processes without writing a single line of code but by simply adapting Actions.
The second lesson shows how to configure and work with Action packs so that you can easily reuse them in different contexts. The video also demonstrate 5 best practices to configure, work with and reuse Action Packs.
The third lesson shows how to separate object configuration from automation logic in Workflows, Actions and Action Packs to work more efficiently. Instead of manually changing the configuration values in all your Workflows and systems, you can store those values in variable (VARA objects). Then, you reference the VARA objects in your Workflows. The video in this lesson explains how to define VARA objects (specifically STATIC and XML VARA objects) to store configuration values.
