Flow logic

Enable flows and subflows to specify conditional or repeated actions. Combine the elements of flow logic to create workflows in a graphical interface with little or no scripting.

The system provides these flow logic options.


Flow logic option	Description
Call Workflow	Run a published and active workflow from your flow. You can use the flow data as a workflow input. For example, you can specify the current record as a workflow input.
Do the following in parallel	You can separate a flow into blocks of actions and subflows that run in parallel, reducing the time taken to execute a flow.
Do the following until	Apply one or more actions repeatedly until an end condition is met. You can use the flow data to specify the end conditions.
End	Use this flow logic to stop a flow within flow designer.
For each	Apply one or more actions to each record in a list of records.
If	Selectively apply one or more actions only when a list of conditions is met.
Make a decision	You can use the decision table branching logic in situations where multiple conditional paths are required, as an alternative to nested If, Else If, or Else flow logic. For example, if you want to determine what kind of car insurance you need, you can add inputs such as your age accident history, and car model to the decision table to determine a level of insurance coverage. This logic can save you time and present a more readable format than nested if conditions or switch case statements.
Wait for a duration of time	Use this flow logic to give your users time to act during automated processes or to wait for a specific date and time to complete actions

Flow logic inputs

Each flow logic option displays one or more fields that are used to determine its behavior. For example, the Call Workflow flow logic has an input where you are able to select a workflow to run. Use these inputs to define the behavior of the flow and enable optional functionality depending on your needs. See flow logic option documentation for a list of the available inputs and how they control the function of that element.

Flow logic outputs

Flow logic options may also have outputs. These represent information that is returned by the flow logic. For example, the Make a decision flow logic has an output that contains a decision answer record representing the decision reached by the flow. See the documentation for a flow logic option to see definitions for its outputs.
