# Get Configuration

The **Get Configuration** workflow action retrieves a specific configuration setting from the system. This action allows you to access and use configuration properties in subsequent workflow steps.

## Key Configuration Fields

  * Enter a unique name for this workflow action.
  * **Validation Rules:**
    1. The name must be unique.
    2. The name length must be between 2 and 100 characters.
    3. The name cannot be empty.
    4. The name cannot include special characters, or spaces, or start with a numeric character.
