Introduction to Flow Stages

Flow stages are the main building blocks that will put together to build your workflow.  Each stage takes input from previous stages, performs an operation and will then output data and follow an output route to subsequent stages until the end of the flow is reached.

Flow stages are divided into two primary categories:

Control Flow

Control flow stages are used to manage the direction that the flow will take.  These include stages to determine if a flow should go down one path or another as well as stages to control loops and pause the flows execution until a later time. 

Actions

Action stages carry out a function within the flow such as saving/fetching data, calling an API or adding a field to a response of the flow

The following sections explain each stage in more detail.  The help for each stage can also be easily accessed from within flows by hovering over the help icon at the top of a stage's properties panel.
