Action Object

Properties Methods

NOTE: The Action Task object has been deprecated. Use the Action2 object instead.

The Action object encapsulates the actions available from the Step Builder (i.e. the available actions in AutoMate™).

Description

The Action object provides an interface to the available actions in AutoMate™. This enables a task developer to utilize variables from the BASIC language and pass them into the AutoMate™ action parameters.

There are a few limitations to be aware of in the Action object:

1. 1) No return codes for success or failure.
   
2. 2) All methods run asynchronously (i.e., they return immediately). Therefore, you should not perform a loop on an action without adding a delay to account for the amount of time it may take for the action to complete.
