====== ActionHandler ====== Add-ons of iPA that get assigned a particular task in a process, are called Actionhandlers. They are used, for example, to send e-mails, to generate PDFs or even retrieve e-mails and process them. With iPA, an appropriate handler can be created for any conceivable use. At the end of this page is a list of currently available handlers. ---- ==== Configuring an Action Handler ==== Actionhandlers are configured on activities in the diagram using the Automation Properties page. For this, an [[:en:glossar#node|Activity]] is selected and Automation Properties is chosen from the toolbox. There, the desired Handler can be added and configured.\\ ---- ==== List of Actionhandlers ==== ^ Actionhandler ^^^| ^Category^Description^Technical description^From version | | Assignment | Sets the
