Introduction to Tasks
Tasks are Elements in Frends which will perform a specific operation during integration Process. These operations can be moving files from one server to another, sending emails or performing SQL queries. Without Tasks it would be difficult to create integrations, since you would have to write every functional step using C#. In addition, Frends only has a limited number of namespaces in use, so you cannot write complex functionality only with C#. Hence, Tasks are core Elements when creating Processes.
Tasks can be split into prebuild Tasks and custom Tasks. Prebuild Tasks are ready-made Tasks which you can add to Frends with just a few clicks. Prebuild Tasks can also be split into Frends Tasks and Community Tasks. Frends Tasks are official Tasks created by the Frends development team, and they are continuously tested and supported. You should always consider these Tasks as the first choice. Community Tasks are Frends Tasks created by the community and these are usually developed with only one use-case in mind. They are not officially supported by Frends, but you can look into them and see if there are useful Tasks that suit your needs. If you cannot find suitable Tasks for your needs from the Frends Tasks or Community Tasks, you can always develop your own Task. We refer to these Tasks as Custom Tasks.
