Actions: turn workflows into business processes | Abaci


Build business processes above your workflows.

Actions provides the business layer above technical execution, giving workflows the meaning, controls and context required to represent real business processes.



Workflow execution is not a business process.

Technical workflows coordinate how software, systems and data execute work. Business processes define what that work means to the organisation and how it should be controlled.

Workflow technology

Executes tasks, transformations, integrations and technical branches.

Moves data between systems and coordinates digital execution.

Understands whether a step succeeded, but not what that execution means to the wider business process.

How Actions resolves this

Wraps technical execution in a defined business process.

Adds ownership, permissions, approvals, decisions, state and exception handling.

Keeps people, systems and automation aligned to the business outcome the process is intended to achieve.

Model the business, not just the execution.

Start with the required business outcome then define and compose actions necessary to achieve it.

  • Add people, decisions and approvals wherever human input is required
  • Carry process context and state across long-running execution
  • Handle failures and exceptions in terms of the process they affect

From request to business outcome.

Resolve

Bring the process to a defined business outcome while preserving its state, history and result.

Business control for every process.

Actions gives the business a controlled way to digitise operations, improving consistency, visibility and oversight from initiation to outcome.

Improve reliability

Run important processes consistently, with clear ownership, known state and defined outcomes — reducing missed steps, manual gaps and operational uncertainty.

Control where it matters

Build approvals, permissions and risk controls into the process itself, so oversight happens at the right point without adding unnecessary friction.

Greater operational visibility

Bring processes, participants, systems and business state together so teams can see what is happening, what needs attention and what comes next.

Scale automation safely

Extend more work to automation and agents without losing business control, applying the same permissions, decisions and oversight as the process evolves.

Powerful on its own. Stronger together.
