Action Components Action components perform operations like sending notifications, creating records, or updating data. They’re typically the “end points” of your automation flows.
Important: Action components always execute their side effects when reached, even if their outputs aren’t connected to downstream nodes. This ensures emails are sent, tasks are created, etc.

Wait before sending a follow-up message
Add a delay between actions (e.g., create task, wait 2 days, check status)
Schedule time-delayed notifications
Example: Follow-up Reminder Trigger → Send Email → Sleep (2 days) → Send Follow-Up Email
The Sleep component pauses the entire workflow execution. When resumed, data passes through unchanged to the next node.
Human-in-the-Loop V2 Pauses workflow execution for human approval before continuing. The workflow resumes only after a user approves or rejects the request.
Configuration Field Description Subject A short title/description for the approval request Notify on Slack Send a Slack notification to the approver when approval is needed
When to Use
Require manager approval before sending external communications
Review AI-generated content before it’s sent
Gate critical actions (e.g., creating Salesforce cases) behind human review
Example: Approval Before Email Trigger → Generate Email (LLM) → Human-in-the-Loop → Send Email
The workflow pauses at the Human-in-the-Loop node. An approver reviews the generated email in Statisfy and approves or rejects it. If approved, the workflow continues and sends the email.
Approval requests appear in the Approvals section in Statisfy. Enable Slack notifications to alert approvers immediately.
Best Practices
Use @ notation for dynamic content
Always use @ notation to reference data from upstream nodes rather than hardcoding values. This makes your automations flexible and reusable.
Test actions individually
Use the play button to test each action node before activating the full flow. This catches configuration errors early.
Handle missing data gracefully
Add conditions before actions to check that required data exists. This prevents errors when data is unexpectedly missing.
For critical actions, consider adding logging or notifications so you can track what the automation did.
