Automate the work

Turn the work your product promises into a named, repeatable action.

Create product operations such as approve, invite, publish, synchronize, or send—then let screens, schedules, and integrations use the same behavior.

Actions in a product

A person expresses intentApprove this request or invite this member

The backend carries out the workValidate, update, connect, notify

The product returns a clear resultSuccess, next step, file, or message

Business behavior gets a durable home

01Name the experienceExpose an operation people understand instead of client-side choreography.

02Reuse the same behaviorCall it from a screen, schedule, or connected workflow.

03Keep work governedValidate input and check access before outcomes run.

Why it matters

The most important things your product does are rarely simple record edits.

Approving a request may change its status, record who approved it, create a follow-up task, and notify the requester. If every client coordinates those steps, the product behaves differently depending on where someone clicks.

Daptin actions give that operation a name and a backend home. An action defines what information it needs, who may run it, which conditions apply, and what should happen in order.

A web screen can call the action now; a schedule can run it later; an integration can become one of its steps. The product keeps one meaning for “approve,” regardless of how it starts.

Design around user intent

Present invite, publish, archive, send, or synchronize—not a sequence of hidden API calls.

Keep multi-step work together

Update records, render content, call a provider, and shape the response inside one operation.

Change behavior centrally

Improve the action once instead of coordinating updates across every client.

How it fits

Part of one connected backend.

Actions does more when it can reuse the records, people, access rules, and workflows already in your application.

Step 1Ask

A screen or service invokes a meaningful action.

Step 2Check

Daptin validates the input, caller, and subject.

Step 3Perform

Ordered outcomes work with records, templates, providers, files, or events.

Step 4Return

The caller receives a deliberate product response.

What it enables

Use it in products people recognize.

Start from the experience you want to create; the backend capability supports the work behind it.

Approve a request

Validate the reviewer, change state, record context, and notify the owner.

Invite a teammate

Create or connect membership and send a welcome message.

Publish content

Check readiness, update status, refresh the site, and announce the change.

Connected by design

Build the next part without starting over.

These capabilities share the same application context, so each one makes actions more useful.

Know the boundary

What Daptin leaves in your hands.

Actions are declarative backend operations, not an unlimited visual workflow suite. Complex long-running processes, compensating transactions, human task queues, and specialized compute may still belong in dedicated systems.
