Executing skills without user action

There could be a need to execute certain skills without needing the user to click on 'Apply'. Example could be

I have a custom skill to upload a file and some input values. Data extracted from the file needs to be uploaded to Box or sent via email. That action should happen automatically without needing to click on 'Apply' for the Send Mail skill.


There should be an option to disable the manual action once we have tested it and are ready to get it into production

    The builder can now hide the input (and/or output) form of any given skill so it happens without the user needing to do anything (or even know:). Note that the input form would still show if missing any of thew required field.
