Rapidomize platform allows you to rapidly build, deploy, and run services & applications. The platform provides workflows
& widgets
to build your services & applications easily.
In Rapidomize platform, we name a workflow as Intelligent Connected App, in short
The first Node of a workflow starts execution of the workflow service/application logic. This first Node is called a Trigger
and other Nodes in the workflow are called Actions
. Actions
can process/tranform your data or connect to remote services such as SaaS apps, integrate to your ERP systems, or databases to send, receive or store data.
