Create a workflow

We will create a workflow that create a new tab and group it.

Open Workflows page. Click the Add Workflow button and choose via UI to create a new workflow.

Click Select Trigger button to choose a trigger for the workflow. Currently, there is only one trigger type, command, available.

You can choose TestCommand we created before. After choosing the trigger, You can click Output tab inside the trigger. It shows what options/values are passed from the trigger and if they are required which means 100% present.

Then, click Select Action button to choose an action for the workflow.

We are going to choose Tab -> create action first.

After choosing the action, you can click Output tab inside the action. The Output of the tab create action is tabId which is the id of the created tab.

Then, click Select Action button again to choose tab -> group action for the workflow. We will put the tabIds parameter with $createTab.tabId which is the output of the previous action. $ means passing the output of the previous action. createTab is the name of the previous action. tabId is the output of the previous action.

After choosing the action, you can click Output tab inside the action. The Output of the tab group action is groupId which is the id of the created tab group.

Then, click Select Action button again to choose group -> update action for the workflow.

We will put the tabGroupId parameter with $groupTheTab.groupId which is the output of the previous action. $ means passing the output of the previous action. groupTab is the name of the previous action. groupId is the output of the previous action.

And we will put the title parameter with {{trigger.FirstOption}} which is the value of the FirstOption of the command.

{{}} is a LiquidJS template syntax. You can use and process the value of previous actions or triggers.

The difference between $ and {{}} is $ passes the output of the previous action no matter what type of output. It could string, number, array, object. {{}} will parse the value and convert it to string, But {{}} can process the input with filter.

You can also have logic with {% %}. Please check liquidjs tag

Because the liquidjs is template engine without eval of javascript. We can use it safely.

Now, you can click the Save button to save the workflow.
