Custom Step

Create custom notification steps in Enbbox workflows. Extend the framework with custom logic, external API calls, and data transformations.

The Custom step lets you execute arbitrary logic within a workflow, such as calling external APIs or making business decisions.

const orderWorkflow = workflow("order-status", async ({ step, payload }) => {
  const result = await step.custom("check-inventory", async () => ({
    inStock: payload.quantity <= payload.availableStock,
    estimatedShipDate: calculateShipDate(payload),
  }));

  if (result.inStock) {
    await step.email("confirmation", async () => ({
      subject: "Order Confirmed!",
      body: `Ships by ${result.estimatedShipDate}`,
    }));
  } else {
    await step.email("backorder", async () => ({
      subject: "Item Backordered",
      body: `We'll notify you when it's available.`,
    }));
  }
});

Use Cases

Data enrichment — Fetch additional data before sending
Conditional routing — Make branching decisions
External API calls — Check inventory, validate addresses
Analytics — Track custom metrics during workflow execution
