Learn more about extensibility actions
Action-based extensibility uses streamlined scripts of code within
Automation Assembler
to automate extensibility actions. Action-based extensibility provides a lightweight and flexible run-time engine interface where you can define small scriptable actions and configure them to initiate when events specified in extensibility subscriptions occur.
You can create these extensibility action scripts of code within
Automation Assembler
, or on your local environment, and assign them to subscriptions. Extensibility action scripts are used for more lightweight and simple automation of tasks and steps. For more information on integrating Automation Assembler
with a Automation Orchestrator Client
server, see Configure an Automation Orchestrator Client integration in Automation Assembler.Action-based extensibility provides:
- An alternative toAutomation Orchestrator Clientworkflows, using small and reusable scriptable actions, for lightweight integrations and customizations.
- A way to reuse action templates, which contain reusable parameterized actions.
You can create extensibility actions by either writing a user-defined action script code or importing a predefined script code as a .ZIP package. Action-based extensibility supports Node.js, Python, and PowerShell run-time environments. The Node.js and Python run-times rely on
Amazon Web Services
Lambda. Therefore, you must have an active subscription with Amazon Web Services
Identity and Access Management (IAM), and configure Amazon Web Services
as an endpoint in Automation Assembler
. For information on getting started with Amazon Web Services
Lambda, see ABX: Serverless Extensibility of Cloud Assembly Services.
Extensibility actions are project-specific.
