Actions

An Action is a reusable workflow definition in PlatformWorks Hub. It defines:

• The orchestration provider to use (e.g. GitHub Actions)
• The parameters required to execute the workflow
• The users involved: actors, approvers, and owners

Structure of an Action

Each action consists of:

parameterSchema	JSON schema defining required input parameters
owners	Users who can manage and edit the action
actors	Users allowed to run the action
