How-to Guide

Key Points

It’s possible to add a new entity to an existing Workflow by modifying the original Workflow. In order to do so, a “CREATED” status and a CREATE Ruleset need to be added for the new entity.
This is not feasible via “ADD RULESET".

Steps

Adding an Entity to your Workflow

To add a Entity to your workflow, at a minimum you will need to:

add a CREATE Ruleset to your Workflow JSON for the new Entity that has the status "CREATED" as a trigger. You will not be able to do this via the 'ADD RULESET'.
add a CREATED status for the new Entity

Note

You can only add new Entities to a Workflow via the JSON document.
