What is a Workflow Task?

A Workflow Task is a Task that contains the context needed to make progress with a Workflow Execution.

  • Every time a new external event that might affect a Workflow state is recorded, a Workflow Task that contains the event is added to a Task Queue and then picked up by a Workflow Worker.
  • After the new event is handled, the Workflow Task is completed with a list of Commands.
  • Handling of a Workflow Task is usually very fast and is not related to the duration of operations that the Workflow invokes.
