# Working with Work-Relay context objects

When you are working with Work-Relay actions, rules and conditions, you can retrieve information about the current environment by using Work-Relay context objects.

Context objects provides information to your process about active cursors, current tasks values, flow instances, users etc. You can use this information to setup complex conditions on your rules and pass various values into your actions.
