Running Actionflows
This option is available in PhixFlow version 12+.
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 after passing in parameters. To do this, use the Run Action option, found in the Actionflow toolbar, via the icon in the Actionflow Properties or via right-clicking on an Actionflow in the Repository.
How To Run Actions
- Open the Actionflow you want to run
- The Actionflow must contain input attributes, e.g. Actionflows with an input connection point of On Click
- Click the Run Action option in the toolbar
- A prompt will display to enter any input parameters, if applicable
Actionflows without input parameters can still be run.
