node to control the path that data records take as they flow through an actionflow. You can add several output connection points. On the output connection points, you can specify decision logic to control the path of data, record by record.Worked Example |
Sometimes there is a threshold in your data that affects the way you want to process it. For example, you might want someone to approve orders over £1000, whereas orders below this value can be placed without approval.
The application screen, below, lists the orders pending approval.
Image Removed
The actionflow for this requires a gateway node to capture orders with a value of £1000 or more so that it can send these to the person authorised to approve them.
For full details on how to create a Gateway node, including worked examples, see Gateway Action Configuration. | Insert excerpt |
