The create, update, and delete runtime actions in the Adobe Commerce integration starter kit perform one of the following functions:

• Expose Commerce data - Notifies an external back-office application when an <object> is created, updated, or deleted in Adobe Commerce. Actions that react to Adobe Commerce events and notify the external back-office application are located in the actions/<object>/commerce folder.
• Enrich Shopping experience - Notifies Adobe Commerce when an <object> is created, updated, or deleted in an external back-office application. Actions that react to back-office application events and notify Adobe Commerce are located in the actions/<object>/external folder.

• Preprocessing data - Any preprocessing needed before calling the Adobe Commerce API can be implemented in the preProcess function in the pre.js file.
• Postprocessing data - Any postprocessing needed after calling the Adobe Commerce API can be implemented in the postProcess function in the post.js file.
