3. Phases

Actionflows can be made up of multiple phases. The first phase will run automatically when the action is triggered. Any additional phases will run when prompted to by a Start Phase node. 

4. Inputs

Defines the input(s) that initiates the Actionflow. These are specific to the instance of the Actionflow being used. 

5. Connection Points

Define the data, or event(s), expected by the Actionflow and what it will return. All instances of the Actionflow use these Connection Point(s). 

6. Action Nodes

Action Nodes are the building blocks of Actionflows, they perform specific tasks and are joined using connectors to make up the overall Actionflow. 

7. Connectors

Connectors are used to connect Action Nodes together and facilitate the mapping of data through the Actionflow.
