SharePoint Designer provides a collection of workflow actions that are available through the Workflow Designer user interface (UI). Although the range of workflow actions that are included in SharePoint Designer is extensive, it is nevertheless finite. In some cases, you may need to model a business process whose requirements are not met by the existing library of workflow actions that are available in SharePoint Designer.
You can have a look at the below links,

Executing Reporting Services report and sending it as an attachment from within SPD workflow would be one such example. Request url is fully customizable and can include workflow variables.
