Parallel paths node

The Parallel paths node splits a flow into two or more independent paths. Each path receives the same input from the node immediately before the split, so use it for tasks whose results do not need to be combined.

Add and configure parallel paths

1. In the flow editor, select the plus icon (+) after the node whose output you want to send to every path.

2. Under Operations, select Parallel paths.

   

3. Enter a unique Path name for each path.

4. To create another path, select Add path. A Parallel paths node can contain between 2 and 10 paths.

5. Use the up and down arrows to change the order in which paths appear.

6. Select the plus icon (+) under each path and add its nodes.

   

注意

Path order controls how paths appear in the editor. CloudFlow does not guarantee the order in which paths run or that they run concurrently.

How parallel paths run

• Each path receives the complete input passed to the Parallel paths node.

• Paths run independently. If one path fails, the other paths continue.

• A run is Completed w/ errors when at least one path completes and at least one path fails. The run is Failed when every path fails.

• If a path pauses and later resumes, CloudFlow continues that path without running completed sibling paths again.

Limitations

• Paths are linear and cannot merge into a shared downstream node.

• A node can reference nodes before the Parallel paths node and earlier nodes in its own path, but it cannot reference output from another path.

• You cannot add a Parallel paths node inside another parallel path.

Delete parallel paths

To delete one path, select the delete icon next to its name. Deleting a path also deletes all nodes in that path. You cannot reduce a Parallel paths node below two paths.

To delete the Parallel paths node, open its menu (⋮) and select Delete. You can keep one path and reconnect its nodes to the preceding node, or delete all paths and their nodes.
