Sequence action

Available in Classic

You can create, modify, and delete sequence type actions in the NAVER Cloud Platform console's Cloud Functions > Action. You can connect sequence actions to a trigger like basic actions, or make external calls through web action settings, etc. Refer to Running action or trigger and Action for how to run and monitor actions that have been created.

Create sequence

The following describes how to create a sequence action.

1. From the NAVER Cloud Platform console's Region menu, click and select the region you're using.
2. From the Platform menu, click and select Classic.
3. Click the Services > Compute > Cloud Functions menus, in that order.
4. Click the Action menu.
5. Click the [Create action] button.
6. Click and select a trigger to connect to the action from Select trigger's Trigger type.
   • Create action without setting up trigger: when you want to create an action without a trigger connection
7. Click and select the trigger to connect from Name, and then click the [Add] button.
   • Create new trigger: when there is no trigger to connect, or you want to create a new trigger for connection Refer to Trigger for detailed instructions for use.
8. When the list of triggers to connect appears, check the information, and then click the [Next] button.
9. Set up the content of the action to create.
   • Basic information: Set up the action type, name, description, and package it belongs to.
   • Set sequence action scenarios: Select the actions to be run in sequence and set the order of execution.
10. Click the [Create] button.

Basic information

Set up basic information required for creating a sequence action. Please see below for descriptions of each item in Basic information.

• Package: Click and select a package where the action will belong. Click the [Create] button if you'd like to create a new package and add the action in it.
• Type: Click and select Sequence among the action types.
  • Basic: Run a single action.
  • Sequence: Connect multiple actions and run them in sequence.
• Name: Enter the action's name by combining English upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters "_" and "-". However, a hyphen can't be used as the first letter. The name must be unique and not a duplicate of another resource (package, action, trigger) name.
  • If the package name is package_name and action name is action_name, then the format for the name of the action that belongs to the package: {package_name}/{action_name}
• Description: Enter the description of the action to create.
• Set web action: Click and select whether to create a web action. (True: Create one, False: Do not create one.)

Set sequence action scenarios

Set up a sequence action's scenario so that the selected actions are run in sequence. The following are precautions to be noted before setting up a scenario.

• You can add sequence type actions as well as basic type actions to a sequence action.
• The user's action parameter is only sent in the first action. If the user action parameter value also needs to be used in actions that follow, then you must explicitly add the value to the result in the previous action.
• Each action registered in the sequence action can use its own default parameter value. If a key identical to the previous action result exists in the default parameter, then the previous action result takes precedence.
• If an error occurs in a previous action, then the next action won't be executed.
• A separate execution timeout can't be specified for a sequence action. The maximum execution time of a sequence action is equal to the total execution timeout of the registered actions. If the execution timeout of Action 1 and Action 2 are 1 minute and 3 minutes respectively, then the sequence action can be run for up to 4 minutes.

The following describes how to set up a sequence action scenario, taking the precaution above into account.

1. Click actions to add to the sequence action in Packages/actions.
2. Set up the running order for the actions added.
   
   • Change execution order: Drag and move the action to change the order.
   • Delete the action added: Click the button.

Modify sequence

A sequence action's name and type can't be modified, but the rest can. The following describes how to modify them.

1. From the NAVER Cloud Platform console's Region menu, click and select the region you're using.
2. From the Platform menu, click and select Classic.
3. Click the Services > Compute > Cloud Functions menus, in that order.

6. Click the Basic information tab menu, and then click the [Modify] button.
7. Modify any necessary information.
8. Click the [Save] button.

Delete sequence

You can delete a sequence action. When an action is deleted, the resource and stage information for the external link address linked with the action will also be deleted. In addition, the sequence actions that contain the sequence action to be deleted may also be modified or deleted. Please proceed carefully since a sequence action can't be restored once deleted. The following describes how to delete a sequence action.
