Actions

Stockful provides 9 actions you can use in Flow workflows. Query actions return data for use in subsequent steps. Write actions update Stockful settings. Integration actions connect to external services.

Query actions

These actions return structured data that you can reference in conditions and subsequent actions within your workflow.
