Create Work Item Flow Step

Use the Create Work Item flow step to defer the processing of data. Creating a work item allows you to mark a piece of work as unresolved. 

Work items can be found in the Work Tracking tab of your workspace. For more information, see Work Tracking.

This item can be fetched later to avoid needing to handle all data transfers in real-time.

Step Inputs

In the Edit Step menu, you can add details about the step configuration as needed for your flow.

• Work Request Type: Enter a descriptive name to identify the type of operation being performed. For example, Processing Test. This is used later in Work Tracking to group work item collections. You may also choose an existing option from the dropdown, if any exist.

• Work request key: Enter a key that groups items consistently. It is common to use a date/time key, which fetches any work items that are grouped under the target date. For example, return dayjs().format("MM-DD-YYYY");.

• Connector: Choose the connector whose data object prompts the creation of work items.

• Data Object: Choose the data object that prompts the creation of work items.

• Cache ID: Enter the cache ID for the work item. A common value is the cache ID of the data object. This value typically comes from the flow trigger object or the output of a Lookup flow step. For example, return uuid.v4();.

Step Output

When the Create Work Item flow step runs, work items are created in the Work Tracking tab in your workspace.
