Overview

Action nodes, within an Actionflow, can be re-used by extracting converting them to into a new Actionflow. The actions in the original Actionflow are then converted transferred to an embedded Actionflow node.

The newly created Actionflow automatically contains:

  • the input, output and output connection pointslookup connection points to connections outside of the new Actionflow, e.g. to action nodes and the original Actionflow
  • all transferred action nodes 
  • the original attributes, which are mapped to match the original Actionflow setup

  • input, output and lookup connectors for each connection to an action node outside of the new Actionflow

    1. A new Actionflow is automatically created
    2. On the original Actionflow, the selected action nodes are replaced with an the new embedded Actionflow node - see Actionflow Node Properties


Note

Important Considerations:

  • All action nodes requiring extraction must be connected
  • If a

     or

     is extracted, its corresponding end/start loop must be extracted too
  • Insert excerpt

     actions cannot be included in the extraction

  • Any passthrough attributes must be mapped into the original Actionflow
