• Key Concepts: 
  Follow-on activities are tasks that are triggered after a certain event has occurred. In the SAP Application Platform, follow-on activities are used to automate processes and ensure that tasks are completed in a timely manner. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Follow-on activities can be used to automate processes such as creating a purchase order or sending an invoice. To use follow-on activities, you must first define the event that will trigger the activity. This can be done in the SAP Application Platform by setting up a workflow or using an event-driven process. Once the event is defined, you can then define the follow-on activity that will be triggered when the event occurs. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up follow-on activities, it is important to ensure that all of the necessary data is available before the activity is triggered. This will ensure that the activity runs smoothly and without any errors. Additionally, it is important to test the follow-on activity before deploying it in production.
