Workflow v2

A Workflow is a description of an automation or integration. Workflows are defined as YAML and the Console also provides a rich visual designer.

Contract and Steps

A new Workflow includes a Parameters and a Returns component - these are referred to as Workflow parameters and returns.

Steps can be added to the Workflow to define its behaviour. Each step maps to a method defined on the Node it is configured for. Each method includes a set of Parameters (inputs) and Returns (outputs).

Expressions map Workflow Parameters and earlier Step Returns into consuming Parameters for a given step. At compile time, these expressions become projections that map data into the required shape. A prior step is referenced by its name, which must be unique in the Workflow.

Most steps are connected linearly. Steps like ForEach which support iteration, allow child steps to be nested. Control Flow steps like If and TryCatch

Cluster selection

Each Workflow runs in a specific Cluster, either the Cloud Cluster or a local Cluster. Any Connection used in a Workflow step must specify the same Cluster as the Workflow.
