This page provides details of the properties for the input and output connection points, which you use to wire together nodes in an actionflow.

Todo-Fiona: There are also properties in Action Node Connections - same or different?

Overview

Use the input and output connection points on nodes in an actionflow to wire the nodes together.

• For input connection points, map which attributes to pass into the node.
• For output connection points, specify an expression to determine ???  passed onto the next node.
