Flow Connector v1

A Flow Connector is a visual connection between Nodes or Node Properties in a Workflow.

Execution Flow Connectors

Execution Flow Connectors are dark-blue lines that determine Node execution sequence. Branching and iterator Nodes can expose several named outputs beneath the Node Header.

Only one Execution Flow Connector can leave an individual Execution Output. Use the Workflow Node's parallel mode when tasks must run concurrently.

Most Nodes have a single Output Execution Flow Socket, Nodes that permit decision-based branching (for example If) or iteration (for example For Each) have multiple output Flow Sockets. In this scenario, the Flow Socket is coupled with a label naming the Execution Output and appears below the Node Header.

Data Flow Connectors

Data Flow Connectors move values between Node Properties. When an output contains XML or JSON, an expression on the connector can select the required part of the document.

Create, change, or remove a connector

Drag from an output Flow Socket to an input Flow Socket. When the sockets are far apart, click the output and then the input.

Drag an existing connector to another target to change it. Drag it away from its target and release it without selecting another input to remove it.

Distant connectors display a wireless icon at each end. Select the connector or either Flow Socket to display the complete connection.
