The kind defines what type of work an activity can do. + +Dummy + The ``dummy`` kind is for activities that do nothing (i.e. they act as hubs + to gather/dispatch transitions), or for activities that only call a Server + Action. + +Function + The ``function`` kind is for activities that only need to run some Python + code, and possibly a Server Action. + +Stop all + The ``stopall`` kind is for activities that will completely halt the + workflow instance.
