Actionflow. This node converges two or more paths together, passing through all attributes which are common to all incoming paths. It does not merge any records

Tip
The ifUnavailable function can be used in a Calculate Node to check that

To check if a record in an

actionflow

Actionflow has a value mapped to

an output attribute of a Converge Node.  

an Output Attribute in a Converge Node, use the ifUnavailable function in a Calculate Node Properties.

For example, if there are three paths being passed into a Converge Node, and one of the paths does not have an attribute mapped to an output attribute, trying to reference that output attribute later in the

workflow

Actionflow will throw

and

an error on a record where there was no attribute mapped. The ifUnavailable function can be used to capture and handle this scenario.
