Types of Actions

When you add an action, you pick it from a menu organized by category. Each action does one thing, and you chain them in order to build behavior.

Navigation — Moving Between Screens

• Screen Navigation — Switches to another Screen. You can specify the transition style and animation.
• Open URL — Opens a web address in the browser or in-app Safari.
• App Store Product Page — Presents another app's App Store product page (requires the app's numeric ID).

Data — Manipulating Data

When data changes, any screen bound to it updates automatically.

• Update Data — Copies one data value to another location. For an array destination, you choose between Append (add to the end) or Replace (swap the whole array).
• Update String / Update Number / Update Bool — Writes a value of a specific type directly to a destination.
• Array Count — Counts the items in an array and outputs the number.
• Get First Item / Get Last Item — Pulls the first/last item of an array and outputs it.
• Data Mapper — Converts data to another schema with a Data Transformer.
• Copy to Clipboard — Copies text to the clipboard.

Math — Calculation

Takes two numbers and outputs a result.

• Add / Subtract / Multiply / Divide — Arithmetic operations
• Compare — Compares two numbers (==, >, <, >=, <=) and outputs true/false.

Text — Text Processing

• To Uppercase / To Lowercase / To Capitalized — Text transforms
• Compare Text — Compares two strings (equals / contains / starts with / ends with, etc.) and outputs true/false.

Network — API

• API Call — Sends an HTTP request and receives the response. (See Binding API Responses to UI)

Logic — Flow Control

• Conditional — Branches based on a condition. (See Conditions & Branching)
• Guard — When the condition holds, continues to the next action; otherwise stops the flow right there. (See Conditions & Branching)
• For Each — Iterates over an array, running the body actions once per element. (See Conditions & Branching)
• Wait — Pauses execution for a specified amount of time.

Component — Controlling Components

Drive on-screen components straight from an Action Flow.

• Camera Control — Take Photo, toggle front/back, start/stop. The captured image comes out as the action's output. (See Camera)
• Video Control / Lottie Control — Play, pause, stop, and change the source. (See Assets)
• WebView Control — Controls a Web component (load URL, reload, go back/forward).

Service

• Service Start / Service Stop — Turns a Service on or off whenever you want.

UI · Device — Feedback

• Alert / Dialog — Presents an alert or a custom dialog.
• Haptic Feedback — Triggers haptic vibration.
• Share — Shares text or an image through the system share sheet.
• Save to Photos — Saves an image to the Photos app.
