Add a workflow to the Sku  (#11807)
Issue

I've seen this time and time again in IRC, and in the forums.  Users want to have side effects from buying something in the Shop.  Often times, it's just adding a user to group, but the Subscription Asset isn't flexible enough for that (it doesn't have inventory, or variants, or whatever).

We should add a workflow to the Sku class.  The default would be no workflow.  However, users could build custom workflow to do whatever they need to have done.

Possible immediate uses:

  1. Adding a user to a group.
  2. Sending an email to the user with a link to download a file.

Really we should add just a whole slew of workflow points, even if we don't have activities for them yes.

What would the object type for this sku one be?

Good question.   Really, you'd like access to both the User and Sku objects.  Transaction would be a good one, but it's not compatible with any current Workflow Activities.

So a Transaction workflow applied to the Sku asset? Or set in the Shop config?

We could even go so far as to add an "Actions" tab to the Product that would do what it needs. This is what the old Commerce system had at the last minute. That actions tab would then be processed by a workflow on the transaction (ProcessSkuActions or something).
