Update workflows documentation (#22356)
## Summary Documentation-only updates to the workflow and logic-function docs: - **Code action ↔ logic functions**: clarify that each Code action is backed by its own logic function, and document how to reuse logic across workflows via `workflowActionTriggerSettings` (Code/User Guide + Logic Functions/Developer docs cross-linked). - **`workflowActionTriggerSettings` example**: add a complete example (`label`, `icon`, `inputSchema`, `outputSchema`) and document the previously-undocumented `outputSchema` field. - **Iterator improvements** (docs for #22031): document the new **"Use the whole item"** (reference the whole current item) and **"Whole list"** (loop over a step's top-level array output) options across the Iterator and array-handling guides. <!-- This is an auto-generated description by cubic. --> <a href="https://cubic.dev/pr/twentyhq/twenty/pull/22356?utm_source=github" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-no-image-dialog="true"><picture><source media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)" srcset="https://www.cubic.dev/buttons/review-in-cubic-dark.svg"><source media="(prefers-color-scheme: light)" srcset="https://www.cubic.dev/buttons/review-in-cubic-light.svg"><img alt="Review in cubic" src="https://www.cubic.dev/buttons/review-in-cubic-dark.svg"></picture></a> <!-- End of auto-generated description by cubic. -->

A function can opt into one, the other, or both. They sit alongside `cronTriggerSettings`, `databaseEventTriggerSettings`, and `httpRouteTriggerSettings` — same pattern, same shape.

**Relationship to the workflow Code action.** The built-in **Code** action in the workflow builder is itself a logic function — Twenty creates one per Code step and exposes its editor inline. `workflowActionTriggerSettings` is how you turn that one-off, inline code into a **reusable** action: define the function once in your app and it becomes selectable in any workflow, instead of being copy-pasted into each Code step. See the [Code action](/user-guide/workflows/capabilities/workflow-actions#code) in the user guide for the end-user view.

##### A complete workflow action example
|
||||
|
||||
`workflowActionTriggerSettings` accepts four fields:
|
||||
|
||||
| Field | Purpose |
|
||||
|-------|---------|
|
||||
| `label` | Name shown for the action in the workflow builder's step picker. Defaults to the function `name`. |
|
||||
| `icon` | Icon shown next to the action (a `tabler-icons` name, e.g. `IconBuilding`). |
|
||||
| `inputSchema` | Twenty's rich `InputSchema` — what the builder renders as configurable fields (with variable pickers). Optional; inferred from the handler when omitted. |
|
||||
| `outputSchema` | Declares the shape the handler returns, so **subsequent steps can map to its output fields**. Optional; without it, the output is exposed as a single opaque value. |
|
||||
|
||||
Putting it together — a function exposed as a workflow action, with a declared output so later steps can reference `taskId`:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts src/logic-functions/enrich-company.logic-function.ts
|
||||
import { defineLogicFunction } from 'twenty-sdk/define';
|
||||
import { jsonSchemaToInputSchema, type InputJsonSchema } from 'twenty-sdk/logic-function';
|
||||
import { CoreApiClient } from 'twenty-client-sdk/core';
|
||||
|
||||
const inputSchema: InputJsonSchema = {
|
||||
type: 'object',
|
||||
properties: {
|
||||
companyName: { type: 'string', label: 'Company name' },
|
||||
domain: { type: 'string', label: 'Domain' },
|
||||
},
|
||||
required: ['companyName'],
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
const handler = async (params: { companyName: string; domain?: string }) => {
|
||||
const client = new CoreApiClient();
|
||||
|
||||
const result = await client.mutation({
|
||||
createTask: {
|
||||
__args: {
|
||||
data: {
|
||||
title: `Enrich data for ${params.companyName}`,
|
||||
body: `Domain: ${params.domain ?? 'unknown'}`,
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
id: true,
|
||||
},
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// The keys returned here should match the `outputSchema` properties below.
|
||||
return { taskId: result.createTask.id, enriched: true };
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
export default defineLogicFunction({
|
||||
universalIdentifier: 'f47ac10b-58cc-4372-a567-0e02b2c3d479',
|
||||
name: 'enrich-company',
|
||||
description: 'Enrich a company record with external data',
|
||||
timeoutSeconds: 10,
|
||||
handler,
|
||||
workflowActionTriggerSettings: {
|
||||
label: 'Enrich Company',
|
||||
icon: 'IconBuilding',
|
||||
inputSchema: jsonSchemaToInputSchema(inputSchema),
|
||||
outputSchema: [
|
||||
{
|
||||
type: 'object',
|
||||
properties: {
|
||||
taskId: { type: 'string' },
|
||||
enriched: { type: 'boolean' },
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
],
|
||||
},
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Once the app is installed, **Enrich Company** appears in the workflow builder's action picker. The builder renders `companyName` and `domain` as input fields (each able to pull values from previous steps), and downstream steps can reference the step's `taskId` and `enriched` outputs.

|
||||
**Write a good `description`.** AI agents rely on the function's `description` field to decide when to use the tool. Be specific about what the tool does and when it should be called.
