Actions/Connectors
Action; is defined to handle the result of this state when the scheduler of the specified job runs and an error is received. There are variables according to the screen type of which the action is selected. These variables are used to create the data of the relevant action type in a certain format and process it by the action.
Connector; is defined to sent data to third party systems. There is no concept of variable in the connector, the data is sent in raw format.
The actions/connectors available on Apinizer are:

Display of Variables and Common Inputs in Action Forms
Each action has its own variables that contain its own characteristics.
These variables hold values for the job when the job is concluded. The action is run by writing these values to certain fields of the action. Therefore, the variables shown on the screen for each job change.
In the dialog where each action is edited, there are buttons that open the variable list. These buttons are located above the fields where variables can be added.
The picture below shows the variables over the e-mail action:
The fields used for the configuration of common information in actions are shown in the table below.
