In an actionflow, individual actions have connection points to receive data from the previous action.
For most action nodes, data flow is configured when you map attributes to the input connection points. For Gateway nodes, you can also control the data flow by mapping to output conenction points. This is because the expressions in a gateway provide the logic for which path the data flows, and different paths may require different data to pass through the gateway.
