HTTP Action

HTTP Action enables integration with your systems through API calls that can be chained together in compound actions.

• Key Features:

  • Allows for the execution of HTTP requests as part of compound actions.

• Useful Links:

  • Compound Action Syntax Expression
  • API Configuration

Script Action

Script Action leverages APIthon, a Python-based scripting environment, to empower users to sort/filter data, transform data, and perform complex calculations. This functionality is particularly useful for processing and manipulating data retrieved from API calls or other sources within your workflows.

• Key Features:

  • Data Manipulation: Easily sort, filter, and transform data to meet the needs of your application or workflow.
  • Complex Calculations: Perform advanced calculations and data analysis directly within your scripts.
  • Python-Based: Utilizes APIthon, which is based on Python, providing a familiar and powerful scripting environment for developers.
  • Integration with Compound Actions: Scripts can be executed as part of compound actions, allowing for seamless integration with HTTP actions and other components of your system.

• Useful Links:

  • Compound Action Syntax Expression
  • APIthon Reference (WIP)

Native Actions

Native actions are Moveworks pre-built actions that can be used to perform common tasks such as creating approval requests, looking up users, and more.

How to use a native action

All native actions are preceded by the mw identifier, for example, if you want to use the create_generic_approval_request native action, you would use mw.create_generic_approval_request.
