Actions — what a workflow can do | Carerealm help

Notification actions

Action	What it does
`notify.email`	Send an email to one or more addresses. Subject + body support variable substitution.
`notify.in_app`	Push an in-app notification (bell) to one or more users.
`notify.message`	Post a message into a channel (or DM).

Per-feature actions

Action	What it does
`forms.queue`	Queue a form for a named person with optional deadline + reminders.
`diary.create_entry`	Create a diary entry on a specific area (e.g. a "check-in" entry).
`about.publish_section`	Publish a new About section.
`about.mark_required_reading`	Flag an About section as required reading.
`about.remind_unread`	Send reminder to staff who haven't marked a section read.
`policy.publish_section`	Publish a new policy.
`policy.require_acknowledgement`	Flag a policy as needing acknowledgement.
`policy.remind_unread`	Send reminder for unread policies.

Flow control + variables

Action	What it does
`flow.wait`	Pause this action. NOTE: only this one action pauses — the rest of the branch is unaffected.
`flow.for_each`	Iterate over an array. REGISTERED but iteration support lands in a follow-up — designs save, runs do not yet expand.
`vars.set`	Store a value into the workflow's variable store.
`vars.increment`	Increment a counter in the variable store.
`webhook.post`	POST a JSON body to an arbitrary URL.

Heads up — flow.for_each is selectable in the builder but the executor doesn't loop yet — your workflow won't iterate. Either avoid it or split per-item branches manually until the executor catches up.
