Workflow Output Parameters
The custom workflow that you create can include output parameters that are relevant to subsequent
events necessary for a reply event topic type.
If an event topic expects a reply, the workflow output parameters must match the reply schema.
Workflow Subscription Settings
The subscription options determine when a workflow runs based on event messages in
vRealize Automation. Use the options to manage your subscriptions.
A subscription represents a user's intent to subscribe to events for a given event topic and to run a
workflow when an event for the topic is received that matches defined conditions.
You must be a tenant administrator to create a workflow subscription. All workflow subscriptions are
specific to your tenant.
To manage your workflow subscriptions, select Administration > Events > Subscriptions.
