=======================
Calling Adapter Actions
=======================

If the adapter provides a set of actions, you can call them from :doc:`Workflows <workflow_development>`.

1. Import the stubs file generated from the Artificial extension::

       from stubs.stubs_actions import example_adapter_action

2. Call the function inside of Orchestration Python::

       lot_number = await example_adapter_action(barcode="1234")


.. note::
   There are restrictions on adapter actions return values and parameters.  They can only have one return value.  They must be strictly typed and composed of supported types.

.. code-block:: python

    from artificial.workflows.decorators import workflow
    from artificial.workflows.runtime import show_info
    from stubs.stubs_actions import example_adapter_action

    @workflow('Adapter Action', 'wf_adapter_action', 'lab_c9eae09e-ceed-46d1-8390-87ff7dd8586d')
    async def adapter_action() -> None:

        lot_number = await example_adapter_action(barcode="1234")

        await show_info(f'Lot: {lot_number})
