What are 'input parameters' in an OutSystems action?

Input parameters in an OutSystems action are values that are passed into the action to influence its behavior. This allows developers to customize how the action operates based on the data provided at runtime. For example, an action might process user data differently depending on the input parameters it receives. This feature enhances the flexibility and reusability of actions, as the same action can be invoked with different parameters in various situations.

The other options do not accurately describe input parameters. Error messages are typically handled through specific error handling mechanisms, not as input parameters. Static values defined in the configuration do not contribute to the dynamic behavior of actions and are not passed as parameters. Data exported from an action after execution refers to output parameters or the results returned by the action, rather than input parameters used for execution. Thus, the concept of input parameters is critical for parameterizing actions and enabling dynamic interactions within the application.
