Which statement is true about Automation Apps' ability to pass data between components?

• A. They cannot pass data between components
• B. They can pass data between components
• C. They pass data only with a trigger
• D. They always require a database

Answer: (B)

Passing data between components is supported in Automation Apps, enabling a seamless flow of information from one component to the next. In practice, components expose inputs and outputs, so the data produced by one component becomes the input for the next, often through attribute mapping or port connections. This allows modular workflows where transformations and decisions can be chained without reloading or re-fetching data.

Triggers start the workflow, but they don’t control every data transfer—data can pass as part of the normal processing sequence once the app is running. And you don’t need a database to move data between components; data can be kept in memory or handled through temporary storage or other means as the workflow executes.
