A colleague of mine was asking for a comprehensive list of available workflow actions in SharePoint Designer 2010. I did some searches and couldn’t find the details so I thought I would provide them here.
Core Actions
- Add a Comment
- Add Time to Date
- Do Calculation
- Log to History List
- Pause for Duration
- Pause until Date
- Send an Email
- Set Time Portion of Date/Time Field
- Set Workflow Status
- Set Workflow Variable
- Stop Workflow
Document Set Actions
- Capture a version of the Document Set
- Send Document Set to Repository
- Set Content Approval Status for the Document Set
- Start Document Set Approval Process
List Actions
- Check In Item
- Check Out Item
- Copy List Item
- Create List Item
- Declare Record
- Delete Item
- Discard Check Out Item
- Set Content Approval Status
- Set Field in Current Item
- Undeclare Record
- Update List Item
- Wait for Field Change in Current Item
Relational Actions
- Lookup Manager of a User
Task Actions
- Assign a Form to a Group
- Assign a To-do Item
- Collect Data from a User
- Start Approval Process

- Start Feedback Process
Utility Actions
- Extract Substring from End of String

I was disappointed to report that there is still no out of the box action for calling a Web Service or action to bring back other attributes of the User’s Profile. Custom or Third-Party actions will still have to be used to support this.
