Recently, I’ve had to develop some custom workflows for a SharePoint solution. A lot of the examples you find on MSDN or the web for developing custom workflows for SharePoint involve writing some customer ACTIONS which you then use in your custom WORKFLOW. An ACTION is the thing the workflow will do, like “Send Email”, “Approve Invoice”, “Do Laundry”, etc. In going down this route, I found that once I wrote the ACTION, I didn’t really need to write the whole workflow. I could just use SharePoint Designer to create a workflow which used my custom ACTION.
