💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

ObjectStack automation design turns complex business event handling, state transitions, approvals, and scheduled actions into clear, auditable metadata instead of ad-hoc glue logic.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Flow orchestration: Build directed-graph automations with control, data, and integration nodes (including subflows, parallelism, waits, and HTTP calls).
  • Workflow state machines & approvals: Model record lifecycles with explicit transitions, guards, and approval processes that lock records and route multi-step sign-off.
  • Trigger-based automation: Fire automation on before/after insert, update, and delete events using CEL predicates with access to previous and current record values.
  • Use cases: Escalate overdue cases on a schedule, implement approval chains for high-value discounts, and send notifications when status changes occur.

Quick Start

Use the objectstack-automation skill to generate an ObjectStack flow plus approval workflow and an after_update trigger that sends a notification when a record transitions to the target state.

FAQPage Schema
How do I design state machine workflows with approvals for record lifecycles?

State machine workflows with approvals are designed by modeling explicit record lifecycle transitions, adding guards to control state changes, and configuring multi-step approval processes that lock records and route sign-offs.

Can I use CEL predicates to filter trigger-based automation events?

CEL predicates can filter trigger-based automation by evaluating conditions on before or after insert, update, and delete events, with direct access to previous and current record values to determine if the automation should fire.

What is the best way to orchestrate event-driven flows with parallelism and waits?

Event-driven flow orchestration is built as directed-graph automations combining control, data, and integration nodes, enabling subflows, parallel execution paths, wait states, and outbound HTTP calls to manage complex business event handling.

How do I escalate overdue cases on a schedule using workflow automation?

Scheduled workflow automation escalates overdue cases by configuring time-based trigger events that evaluate record states and execute directed-graph flow actions, replacing ad-hoc glue logic with clear, auditable metadata.

Does ObjectStack support declarative workflows with guarded state transitions?

ObjectStack supports declarative workflows by defining explicit state transitions and guards within state machines, ensuring record lifecycles follow validated paths and lock records during multi-step approval routing.

Can I send notifications when a record status changes in an automation flow?

Notifications are sent when a record status changes by configuring an after_update trigger that evaluates the state transition with a CEL predicate and executes a notification action node within the automation flow.
