Flow
Learn about different node types that help conditionally control workflow execution in NocoDB.
In NocoDB workflows, Flow Nodes are essential components that help control the execution path of your workflows based on specific conditions or logic. These nodes allow you to create dynamic and responsive workflows that can adapt to different scenarios.
Availability of certain flow nodes depends on your plan. Refer to the individual flow node documentation for plan-specific details.
Types of flow nodes
NocoDB offers two main types of Flow Nodes:
- If / else: This node evaluates a condition and directs the workflow to different branches based on whether the condition is true or false. It is useful for implementing decision-making logic in your workflows.
- Iterator: This node allows you to loop through a list of items (array), executing a set of actions for each item in the list. It is particularly useful for processing multiple records or data entries in a batch.
- Delay: This node pauses the workflow execution for a specified duration before proceeding to the next step. It is useful for spacing out actions or introducing wait times.
- Wait Until: This node pauses the workflow execution until a specified date and time is reached. It is ideal for scheduling actions to occur at an exact moment.
These nodes enhance the flexibility and functionality of your workflows, enabling you to create more complex automation scenarios tailored to your specific needs.
