Action tasks
Use action tasks in PlanetPress Workflow to perform a wide variety of operations. PlanetPress Work-
flow includes more Action tasks than Input and Output tasks combined. Action tasks can even be used
to input data and to output data.
The difference between an Action task and an Input task is that an Action task can never be the first
task of a process. In the same fashion, the difference between an Action task and an Output task is that
an Action task can never appear at the end of a process. In other words, Action tasks are always placed
between other tasks.
