WORKFLOW ACTIONS

What you can configure.

Choose an action in the workflow builder, connect an account, and map its inputs. These actions are available in the catalog; your account access and a successful test determine whether they work for your setup.

Create Cosmos DB item

Write

Create an item, or replace it when upsert is on.

Permissions and limits

Account permissions

  • A read-write account key

Operation limits

  • Items are at most 2 MB. A lost answer is never resent automatically; use upsert to make a retry safe.

A repeated request may repeat the external action. Review the previous result before retrying a write.

Delete Cosmos DB item

Write

Delete one item by ID and partition key.

Permissions and limits

Account permissions

  • A read-write account key

A repeated request may repeat the external action. Review the previous result before retrying a write.

Read

Read one item by ID and partition key.

Permissions and limits

Account permissions

  • An account key

List Cosmos DB containers

Read

Read a database's containers with their partition keys.

Permissions and limits

Account permissions

  • An account key

List Cosmos DB databases

Read

Read the account's databases.

Permissions and limits

Account permissions

  • An account key (read-only keys work for reads)

Query Cosmos DB items

Read

Run a parameterized SQL query over a container and read one page of items.

Permissions and limits

Account permissions

  • An account key

Operation limits

  • Without a partition key the query runs across partitions. Values are bound as parameters, never pasted into the query.

Pagination: cursor. Check the result for additional pages; a single action may not return every record.

SETUP

Start with a controlled test.

01Connect the intended account

Use the account and permissions required for your process. Review the connection check before configuring a workflow action.

02Review inputs and access

Select a listed operation and map its required inputs. Use test records and add a human approval before writes that need review.

03Confirm the result

Inspect step outputs and confirm the result in Azure Cosmos DB. A saved workflow is not a completed provider action.
