Workflow Tasks Reference

This reference documents every task available in the Workflow Builder. Tasks are the atomic building blocks of workflows — each one performs a specific action and produces structured output that downstream tasks can reference.

How to Use Tasks

Tasks are defined in the tasks section of a workflow definition. Each task has:

• id — A unique identifier within the workflow (used to reference outputs).
• type — The task type (e.g., core.print, k8s.cli).
• params — Input parameters for the task.
• next — The ID of the next task to execute (optional).

Referencing Task Outputs

Use template expressions to pass data between tasks:

# Reference a previous task's output
{{ Tasks['my_task_id'].output.field_name }}

# Reference workflow inputs
{{ Inputs.my_input }}

# Reference shared configs and secrets
{{ Configs.slack_channel_id }}
{{ Secrets.github_token }}

Automatic Context Variables

Every workflow execution includes these variables in the Inputs map:

Variable	Description	Format
workflow_execution_time	Actual start time of this execution	RFC3339
workflow_scheduled_time	Intended/logical trigger time	RFC3339
workflow_last_execution_time	Start time of the previous successful run	RFC3339
workflow_execution_id	Unique run ID	UUID
workflow_id	Workflow definition ID	UUID
workflow_name	Workflow name	String
