Feature Request: Add a “Code” Action
john_b
As a user, I would love to see a "Code Action" feature added to Taskade's automations. This would allow us to run custom scripts, enhancing workflow flexibility and automation capabilities. It would facilitate some simple tasks that currently require complex workarounds. (Example: getting today’s date). Thank you!

Hi there! Could you expand more on this? Do you have examples of this feature in other solutions? Any references would help us better understand your use case and how to develop this feature.

Thanks, Narek Zograbian. Some examples - ActivePieces, Zapier, and most iPaaS tools enable users to run JavaScript on data from the previous step.
The main advantage of adding a code step to the workflow builder is that it can address a lot of the gaps with the existing automation actions. It allows for things like date and string manipulation, and can help avoid crazy
if
branches if the user can handle the logic in a single code step.
