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
- Trigger — Manual, schedule, or API.
- Input — JSON payload (from trigger or saved Payload).
- Process — Node(s) execute and pass data along Edges.
- 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.
