Declarative automation is a great way to get things done quickly and easily. However, there are some things that you should know about when not to use a declarative automation. Here are four examples:
1. When You Need More Control
Declarative automation is designed to be easy to use and requires very little code. This can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on your needs. If you need more control over your automation, then you should use a more traditional, procedural approach.
2. When You Need to Be More Efficient
While declarative automation can be quick and easy, it is not always the most efficient way to automate your processes. If you need to be more efficient, then you should use a more procedural approach.
3. When You Need More Flexibility
Declarative automation is not very flexible. If you need to be able to change your automation on the fly, then you should use a more procedural approach.
4. When You Need to Debug Your Code
Declarative automation can be difficult to debug. If you need to debug your code, then you should use a more procedural approach.
