How executions start

  • Manual — Run from Properties → Execute.
  • API/Schedule — Triggered externally (for exposed top‑level Nodes).
  • Internal — Invoked by another Node within a Flow.

Characteristics

  • Isolated — No shared state between runs.
  • Reproducible — Inputs, modifiers, and context are logged.
  • Traceable — Inspect logs, traces, and metrics historically.
  • Evaluated — Optionally score outputs with Evaluations.

Flow of an execution

  1. Trigger — Manual, schedule, or API.
  2. Input — JSON payload (from trigger or saved Payload).
  3. Process — Node(s) execute and pass data along Edges.
  4. Output — Result returned or stored.

Practical tips

  • Save Payloads for common scenarios.
  • Keep inputs small and typed for easier regression.
  • Use consistent correlation fields to stitch traces across components.
note: Parallelism — For components with Parallel ON, provide a list of inputs; each item is executed concurrently and aggregated downstream.
