Lesson 7: Optimizing Workflow Design
Let's wrap up what we started earlier in the course—automating the process of updating a user's Microsoft Group memberships. In this final "foundations" lesson, we'll introduce some major upgrades.
What to Eggs-pect
After completing this lesson, participants will be able to:
Configure workflow output to store feedback messages that will be retrieved in a "parent" workflow
Update a form to handle multiple items at once for efficiency
Use 'With Items' to loop through a list of items on a workflow action
Create an email action that shares relevant, customized feedback for each workflow execution
Prerequisite(s)
In this lesson, we create a parent workflow that will contain the workflow that you finished creating in "Implementing Error-Handling in Rewst Workflows"
