Flow Units Overview

A Flow Unit is a configurable, reusable building block in the Flow Designer that represents a single action or logic step in an automation flow. Each flow unit processes input data, performs a defined operation, and produces an output that can be used by subsequent units in the flow. Flow units are arranged in a logical sequence to design end-to-end automations and can be configured independently based on business requirements. The units are categorized into the following sections:
  1. Fixed Units
  2. Trigger Units
  3. Configurable Units

Fixed Units

Please note that the Start and End units are the default units that are included in every flow. You cannot remove these units from the flow. Configurable flow units are available under the Flow Unit tab, which can be added or removed from the flow.

Trigger Units

The trigger units are always the second unit in any flow. This is the triggering point of any flow. The following trigger units are supported:
  1. Timer - Triggers the flow at a scheduled time or at recurring intervals.
  2. Queue - Initiates the flow when a message is received in a queue.
  3. Subscription - Triggers the flow based on subscribed events or notifications.
  4. HTTP - Starts the flow when an HTTP request is received.
