2.10 Running Actionflows

Running Actionflows

This option is available in PhixFlow version 11.1+.

Actionflows usually run as a result of a button click or task plan, however, on occasion you may wish to run an Actionflow independently, such as, when testing or to see the result back from an API. To do this, use the  Run Action option, found in the Actionflow toolbar.

How To Run Actions with Input Parameters

  1. Open the Actionflow you want to run
  2. Click the  Run Action option in the toolbar

    The  Run Action option can also be found via the  icon in the Actionflow  Properties, or by right-clicking on an Actionflow in the  Repository or on the Actionflow homepage.


  3. A prompt will display to enter any input parameters, if applicable 

    1. Actionflows without input parameters can still be run

    2. Where the Actionflow contains multiple phases, the inputs must be entered for each phase, as displayed by the coloured circles 
  4. Click Run Action
  5. A Log File message will display if the Actionflow was successful
  6. A Result for Action message will display the results of the Actionflow
