What frameworks and design patterns support self-defined and customizable sequence of actions? [closed]

A sequence of actions are, for example, listening to a topic/channel in message queue , read some info by calling APIs, do some type conversion , and then call another APIs for write. What framework/design patterns supports defining and customizing a sequence of actions like these while keeping the repeated part generic and reusable? I will most likely use Java. I'm looking for a direction to dive into. I'm not looking for a complete solution.
