Plugins are modular pieces of code that allow your system to perform specific activities. Almost all system components, such as HCP data connections, the built-in stages, and the email notification feature, are based on built-in plugins.
You can also extend functionality by writing your own plugins, such as:
- Data connection plugins, which allows your system to access new kinds of data sources, ones that it does not support by default.
- Stage plugins, which allow your system to process documents in new ways. You can add your custom stage plugins as stages in a processing pipeline.
Plugins can also be imported and exported through bundles in Workflow Designer. For more information, consult the Workflow Designer Help.
