General workflow guidelines

Nuix Investigate only accepts valid JSON workflow templates. The following guidelines should be followed when creating a workflow template:

The workflow templateMetadata.name property must be unique and not exceed 100 characters.

A workflow must contain at least one activity with a unique activity ID.

A workflow can contain any number of activities.

To create a node that contains nested descendants, the activity ID of the immediate child node must be defined in the nextSteps property of parent node. Repeat this process to add multiple descendant nodes.

Tip: The examples provided within this appendix describe how to define each individual workflow activity; however, any number of activities can be combined within the same template to create a custom workflow.

To create a custom workflow that can perform multiple tasks, add the activity objects from any of the following workflow examples to a single workflow.
