Tasks
This document describes what tasks are, the supported tasks in Application Integration, and how to use them in your integrations.
Overview
A task is a well-defined unit of work in an integration. In general, tasks can take an input, complete a unit of work using the input, and produce an output. You can use different types of tasks in your integration to solve a particular business problem. A task is triggered by a trigger or another task.
