Flows ​

Flows enable custom, event-driven data processing and task automation. Each flow is composed of one trigger, a series of operations, and a data chain that is passed between each step.

Fields ​

  • Name (required) — The displayed name of the Flow.
  • Status — Sets the flow to active or inactive.
  • Icon — Adds an icon to help quickly identify the flow.
  • Description — Sets a brief verbal description of the flow.
  • Color — Sets a color to help identify the flow.
  • Activity and Logs Tracking — Selects whether the flow should be tracked in both the activity log and the flow's logs, only in the activity log, or neither.

Logs ​

Accessible from the sidebar, logs store information for each flow execution. Each log will display information from triggers as well as each operation in the flow.

Logs are not a 1:1 mapping to the data chain. Each trigger and operation gets its own dropdown, which stores its relevant data. Here's what you'll get from each of these:

Trigger ​

  • Options — The values you input when you configured the trigger.
  • Payload — Displays the data appended under $trigger, which includes the data passed into the flow itself.
  • Accountability — Displays data appended under $accountability, which is a breakdown of the permissions and request information of the user that triggered that event.

Note that $accountability is not nested under the $trigger key. However, it is listed under the trigger in the log because $accountability is generated by the trigger.

<OperationKey> ​

  • Options — The values you input when you configured the operation. (These configuration options are not stored on the data chain).
  • Payload — Displays the data appended under this <operationKey>.

Warning: Logs are stored in the database Flows configured to track will store this information in the database, which may require occasionally deleting.

Where is $last?$last constantly updates to store the data of the most recently executed operation. Since the log shows the results of the entire flow, $last would only be the final operation in the flow.
