What does a SuiteFlow Action specify?

A SuiteFlow Action is an essential component of workflow processes in NetSuite. It specifically defines what action should be taken within the workflow at a given step. For instance, a SuiteFlow Action can dictate operations such as creating a task, sending an email notification, or updating a record. This action serves as the instruction that tells the system to perform a particular task based on the defined criteria within the workflow.

In contrast, elements like conditions for process completion, transitions between states, and types of records to process serve different roles in the workflow framework. Conditions for process completion are used to determine whether the workflow should end or proceed to the next step. Transitions manage the movement from one state to another within the workflow, and they help outline the flow of the process. Meanwhile, types of records specify what kinds of records the workflow is intended to work with, but they do not dictate the specific actions to be performed.

Understanding these distinctions is crucial for effectively utilizing SuiteFlow to automate and streamline business processes within NetSuite.
