# List of task types

Nutrient Workflow Automation Platform provides various task types that extend functionality for building automated workflows. These task types are available within the Process Builder and are organized into two main categories: Standard Tasks for core workflow operations and Integration Tasks for connecting with external systems.

## Standard tasks

Standard tasks handle core workflow operations including user interactions, data processing, and internal system functions.
