Workato Genie connector - Send business event action
The Send business event action sends a business event to a genie and delivers a notification to a specified user. The recipe continues immediately after sending the event without waiting for the genie to finish processing.
Use this action when a user needs to be informed of an event and may need to take action. Use the Assign task to genie action for automated tasks that don't require a user. Refer to App Events vs Assign task to genie for a full comparison.
