Questions about this workflow
Will this change or repair Custom APIs?
No. This workflow lists existing Custom APIs and reviews their rules; it does not update or delete them.
Does the audit use Affinda data?
The scheduled audit action reads the Diffbot Custom API inventory. Affinda may be connected for the pair, but no Affinda document payload is required for this action.
