Tasks

An agent can perform one or more tasks that you define for it. You can use some tasks to notify the right people quickly about a change in a business event so they can take appropriate action. Other tasks can help you to automate a work flow.

An agent can perform its tasks in sequence, where each task is performed in the order you choose, or in parallel, where you specify that tasks be performed at the same time. By default, tasks are performed in parallel.

Note: For parallel tasks, tasks are run in a specific order, depending on the task types included in an agent.

You can specify tasks that do the following:

send an e-mail
publish a news item
run a report
run a job
run an agent
send an approval request
send a notification request
update a database
call a web service
run an export
run an import
run a content maintenance task
