Concepts

before starting to use engini, explore the basic concepts and terminology workflows engini’s “workflows” allowing users to construct dynamic processes that adapt to their specific needs these workflows can seamlessly operate in an automated, manual, or scheduled routine each workflow comprises of a trigger that sets the process in motion and one or more actions triggers a trigger is an event, condition, or action that initiates a sequence of predefined steps or tasks within a workflow triggers are used to automate and control the flow of work, ensuring that specific actions are taken in response to certain events or conditions these triggers can take on various forms, including manual activation by an operator, automatic initiation in response to specific conditions or events, or even scheduled to run at predefined times activities activities refer to the individual tasks, actions, or steps that are executed in a predetermined sequence to achieve a specific objective these activities are the building blocks of a workflow, and they can encompass a wide range of actions, from data entry and document processing to approvals, notifications, and data transfers activities are typically interconnected and dependent on one another, with the successful completion of each activity often triggering the commencement of the next tables in engini, tables serve as structured containers that house valuable database content they offer the flexibility to define column types, allowing you to precisely tailor the structure of your data furthermore, these tables become the canvas upon which you can orchestrate specific and targeted automations whether you need to retrieve, update, or manipulate data, engini’s tables provide a robust foundation for achieving your automation goals with precision and efficiency appmaker engini’s appmaker stands as a powerful tool within the platform, providing users with the means to craft and shape their own applications seamlessly with appmaker, you’re not just building apps; you’re shaping a tailored user experience it’s where you define the structure, design the user interface, and create the logic of your applications whether you’re looking to present data in a structured manner, establish connections between screens, or make data contextually relevant, engini’s appmaker empowers you to transform your ideas into functional, user friendly applications that precisely fit your unique needs connections connections are the vital links that enable seamless interaction and data exchange between different systems or applications these connections serve as bridges that facilitate the flow of information, actions, and commands from one part of a workflow to another, or between external systems and the workflow itself establishing a connection typically involves configuring specific settings and authentication credentials, allowing the workflow to access and utilize the functionalities of a given system or application
