Add Links action

Use the Add Links action to add one or more items to a specific Link attribute on the input item(s).

For example, in the event workflow illustrated below, the triggering item is a project linked to two jobs. The root node outputs one project item. The Add Links action adds two more jobs to the incoming project's Tasks attribute (attribute_projectTasks).

  • Offset - set a date/time relative to when the workflow triggers.
  • Link - link to the corresponding output of any preceding stage in the current branch path (one item).
