FloWorks action
Overview and Key Concepts
The FloWorks action activity is similar to the Custom Code activity. It may be used to implement any logic for which no standard Process Flow activity exists, or for which configuring such an activity would be too cumbersome.
It has a different icon to distinguish FloWorks actions from other Custom Code activities. In addition the list of dropdown options in the Custom Code field is geared towards FloWorks actions, as shown in the screenshot below.
Connectors
The FloWorks action activity only allows one connector out. See Adding and Connecting Activities for more information.

To use a picklist, click the Add button
next to the Custom
Code box to open a menu listing different picklists that are currently available

Code box to open the code editor. In the code editor, you would enter in the code
you want the activity to execute every time a new token enters the activity.
