Actions are sets of instructions performed upon Task execution. While automatic Action execution requires a Trigger (such as Task Scheduler, Folder Watcher, SFTP Watcher, System Start-up, and many more), it is also possible to run Task manually.
How to add Actions?
To add Actions to your Automated Task, use Add Action window in Actions tab. It can be accessed either from Task Wizard or Task Properties. Choose from a list of available Actions, and confirm selection to open configuration window · Organize Actions with Favorites

Log
Actions are the core components that do the actual work. Triggers, on the other hand, are the components responsible for automatic start of the Task when the specified criteria are met.
Triggers can monitor files, watch local, network and remote folders, run on simple and complex schedules, monitor user logon and logoff, as well as feature other advanced monitoring capacities.
Variables in Automation Workshop allow you to interconnect Actions and Triggers by passing initial and output values (of Triggers, Actions, and System) between them. Variables are automatically declared and filled in real-time upon running a particular Trigger or Action.
