1.02 Actionflow Principles

The Principles of Actionflows

These are the key principles to remember when configuring Actionflows.

  • Only map in the minimal amount of data, e.g., primary key, which is then used to access the remaining data
  • All Actionflows require an input, such as data, user interaction, scheduled task or API call
  • Action nodes receive data as Input Parameters and return data to the Actionflow as Output Attributes
  • To use data within an action node it must be mapped in
  • Data not mapped into an action node will pass through and is available at later points in the Actionflow
  • Reuse Actionflows by connecting in different inputs. Each reuse is referred to as an instance
