How to use:
- Drag and drop the "Bucket Creation" activity onto the workflow.

Example: Consider an example where the "Bucket Creation" activity is used to create a new S3 bucket named "my-automatr-bucket" in the US West (Oregon) region:
Bucket Creation:
Display Name: "Create AutomatR Bucket"
Access Key ID: "**************"
Secret Access Key: "**************"
Region: "us-west-2"
Bucket Name: "my-automatr-bucket"
Result: isBucketCreated
In this example, the activity attempts to create an S3 bucket named "my-automatr-bucket" in the specified AWS region. The result of the operation (success or failure) is stored in the Boolean variable "isBucketCreated" for further handling in the workflow.
