Workflows - Execute task
The Workflows - Execute task lets you execute a workflow in Cloud Workflows. Executing a workflow runs the current workflow definition associated with the workflow.
Cloud Workflows is a Google Cloud service that allows you to fully-manage and orchestrate runtime services in the order you define.
Before you begin
Ensure that you perform the following tasks in your Google Cloud project before configuring the Workflows - Execute task:
- Enable the Workflow Executions API (
workflowexecutions.googleapis.com
). - Create an authentication profile. Application Integration uses an authentication profile to connect to an authentication endpoint for the Workflows - Execute task.
Configure the Workflows - Execute task
- In the Google Cloud console, go to the Application Integration page.
- In the navigation menu, click Integrations.
The Integrations List page appears.
- Select an existing integration or create a new integration by clicking Create integration.
If you are creating a new integration:
- Enter a name and description in the Create Integration dialog.
- Select a Region for the integration from the list of supported regions.
- Click Create.
This opens the integration in the integration designer.
- In the integration designer navigation bar, click +Add a task/trigger > Tasks to view the list of available tasks.
- Click and place the Workflows - Execute element in the integration designer.
- Click the Workflows - Execute element on the designer to view the Workflows - Execute task configuration pane.
- Go to Authentication, and select an existing authentication profile that you want to use.
Optional. If you have not created an authentication profile prior to configuring the task, Click + New authentication profile and follow the steps as mentioned in Create a new authentication profile.
- Go to Task Input, and configure the displayed inputs fields using the following Task input parameters table.
Changes to the inputs fields are saved automatically.
Task input parameters
The following table describes the input parameters of the Workflows - Execute task:
Property | Data type | Description |
---|---|---|
Region | String | Region where you want to create a new Workflow execution. For example, us-central1 . |
ProjectsId | String | Your Google Cloud project ID. |
WorkflowsId | String | Name of your Workflow. |
Request | JSON | See request JSON structure. |
Task output
The Workflows - Execute task returns the newly created instance of the Workflow execution.
Retry on failure
You can configure various retry strategies to handle errors in a task. The retry strategies allow you to specify how to rerun the task or integration in case of an error. For more information, see Error handling strategies.
