What it is

Create your own automated workflows for business processes.

Real use case example

"A founder, Emma, owns an e-commerce store and wants to automate the process of sending order confirmations to customers. She sets up a workflow using this skill to connect her Stripe and Mailchimp accounts. With a few clicks, she creates an automation that sends a confirmation email whenever a new order is placed. Emma can now focus on her business, knowing that order confirmations are taken care of."

Create a new process using the Operaton modeler and add a service task to send an email using the `mailto` connector: `<serviceTask id='send-email' name='Send Email'><extensionElements><operaton:mailTo>user@example.com</operaton:mailTo></extensionElements></serviceTask>`
