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.
