openapi: 3.0.0 info: version: '2016-11-23' x-release: v4 title: 'AWS Step Functions #X Amz Target=AWSStepFunctions.CreateActivity #X Amz Target=AWSStepFunctions.CreateActivity #X Amz Target=AWSStepFunctions.StartSyncExecution API' description: Step Functions

Step Functions is a service that lets you coordinate the components of distributed applications and microservices using visual workflows.

You can use Step Functions to build applications from individual components, each of which performs a discrete function, or task, allowing you to scale and change applications quickly. Step Functions provides a console that helps visualize the components of your application as a series of steps. Step Functions automatically triggers and tracks each step, and retries steps when there are errors, so your application executes predictably and in the right order every time. Step Functions logs the state of each step, so you can quickly diagnose and debug any issues.

Step Functions manages operations and underlying infrastructure to ensure your application is available at any scale. You can run tasks on Amazon Web Services, your own servers, or any system that has access to Amazon Web Services. You can access and use Step Functions using the console, the Amazon Web Services SDKs, or an HTTP API. For more information about Step Functions, see the Step Functions Developer Guide .

Starts a Synchronous Express state machine execution. StartSyncExecution is not available for STANDARD workflows.

StartSyncExecution will return a 200 OK response, even if your execution fails, because the status code in the API response doesn't reflect function errors. Error codes are reserved for errors that prevent your execution from running, such as permissions errors, limit errors, or issues with your state machine code and configuration.

This API action isn't logged in CloudTrail.
