Activity Store

Last updated on

The activity store is a centralized repository of reusable activities that can be used across multiple processes. It promotes consistency, reduces duplication, and accelerates process creation.

What is the Activity Store?​

Activity Store is a collection of activity templates. Each activity template abstracts the activity with the inputs required to achieve the function. Activities are stored as templates to support reuse and governance.

The Activity Store contains:

  • Reusable activity templates (for example, planning, build, deploy, notify)
  • Inputs and outputs that encapsulate underlying pipelines for automated activities

Benefits​

Consistency​

  • Standardized activity implementations
  • Consistent behavior across processes
  • Reduced rework across teams

Reusability​

  • Use activities in multiple processes
  • Avoid recreating similar activities
  • Share activities across teams

Efficiency​

  • Faster process creation
  • Pre-configured integrations
  • Best practices built-in
