Connection Points
Connection points can be inbound or outbound.
- Inbound connection points receive data coming into the Actionflow
- Outbound connection points return data out of the Actionflow
Inbound Connection Points
There are two types of inbound connection point - Driving and Lookup. Every Actionflow must have only one driving input, which causes the Actionflow to run.
- Driving connection: records are pushed into the Actionflow one by one
- Lookup connection: all records are pulled as a single dataset but only when the connection is referenced in an expression inside the node. Records are then returned as a single dataset, which may contain multiple records, which are returned as an array
The input/data available to be mapped onto the Connection Points of an Actionflow depends on where the instance of the Actionflow is being called from. For example, if a screen has a grid of data and a card container, an Actionflow on a button which exists on this screen will have access to both sources of data.
To select the source of data, click the input box under Connections.
Make sure you connect to the output connection point if you are returning data.
