operationId: CreateActivity
description: 'Creates an activity. An activity is a task that you write in any programming language and host on any machine that has access to Step Functions. Activities must poll Step Functions using the GetActivityTask API action and respond using SendTask* API actions. This function lets Step Functions know the existence of your activity and returns an identifier for use in a state machine and when polling from the activity.
This operation is eventually consistent. The results are best effort and may not reflect very recent updates and changes.
CreateActivity is an idempotent API. Subsequent requests won’t create a duplicate resource if it was already created. CreateActivity''s idempotency check is based on the activity name. If a following request has different tags values, Step Functions will ignore these differences and treat it as an idempotent request of the previous. In this case, tags will not be updated, even if they are different.'
