Plugin Help

Profound.js ships many different plugins each serving their own purpose, such as accessing the database, navigating around in the application, managing program data, sending emails, consuming services, creating conditions, running custom SQL, executing custom Node.js code, and more. For each plugin, context-sensitive help is accessible by clicking on the ? icon in the dialog. You can also import 3rd party plugins or even create your own.

Description

On most plugins the description at the top will populate with a default value if left empty. However, it is a very good idea to enter a more specific description to make it easier to tell what each step does.

For example "Get records from customer table" instead of the default "Get records"

Insert Dynamic Data

Some plugins have one or more Insert Dynamic Data links. Clicking this link will open a drop down that allows you to select Work variables, Input and Output parameters, and Special values.
