# Add Features

Type: `addFeatures`

This handler adds features to a node that is part of the workflow's payload. This can be used to apply one or more features to your content instances as they flow through your workflow.

The `config` for this handler is as follows:

```
{
    "features": [{
        "qname": "<feature qname>",
        "config": {
           ... optional configuration for the feature
        }
    }]
}
```

The `config` is an optional parameter. You can use this handler to add one or more features to the documents in the workflow payload. Here is an example configuration which assumes that two custom features are defined and adds them - `custom:approved` and `custom:emailed`.

```
{
    "features": [{
        "qname": "custom:approved"
    }, {
        "qname": "custom:emailed",
        "config": {
            "alreadyEmailed": true,
            "emailedTo": "bob@ross.com"
        }
    }]
}
```
