Overview

Use a Converge to converge two paths within an Actionflow. This node converges two or more paths together, passing through all attributes which are common to all incoming paths. It does not merge any records.

Basic Settings

Field	Description	Example Value
Name	Name given to the node. This will be displayed on the Actionflow canvas.	Converge Paths

Output Attributes

The Converge Node will only pass through attributes that are common to all paths, therefore, use Output Attributes to converge attributes to a common name. Once created, map to the Output Attributes using the attributes from incoming paths.

The grid contains a list of all Output Attributes and their data type.

To add a new Output Attribute, in the section toolbar click Add New and set its properties
To edit an existing input connection point, double-click it in the list to open its properties
To remove an input connection point, select one and in the section toolbar click Delete

To check if a record in an Actionflow has a value mapped to an Output Attribute in a Converge Node, use the ifUnavailable function in a Calculate Node Properties.

For example, if there are three paths being passed into a Converge Node, and one of the paths does not have an attribute mapped to an output attribute, trying to reference that output attribute later in the Actionflow will throw an error on a record where there was no attribute mapped. The ifUnavailable function can be used to capture and handle this scenario.

Advanced

Field	Description
Prioritise Throughput Over Ordering	When enabled, records are processed in parallel to optimise performance. This means the order records are processed is nondeterministic. When disabled (default), records are processed in the order they are provided.
