On/Off Action Steps


With viaSocket's step on/off feature, you can precisely manage your automation workflows by turning specific action steps on or off within your workflows. When a trigger is activated, the workflow executes according to the enabled actions, allowing real-time customization. This flexibility ensures your workflows remain efficient and responsive without the need to remove or recreate action steps.

Understanding Action Steps Status in viaSocket Workflows

In viaSocket, actions step within a workflow can be switched on and off according to requirements. When you save an action step, the status of the step is set to on. 


  1. On: When a step is turned on, viaSocket actively executes that step whenever the workflow is triggered. The step will check for new data and perform its designated action(s) as part of the overall workflow.
  2. Off: Steps that are turned off do not perform actions or check for new data within the workflow. We might turn off a step under specific conditions:

By managing the status of each step, you can fine-tune your workflows in viaSocket, ensuring that only the necessary steps are active and that your processes remain flexible and adaptable.
