Branch Node Documentation

The branch node enables the execution of multiple nodes in parallel, allowing actions to run simultaneously instead of one after the other.

Features

Key Functionalities

Parallel Execution: Execute multiple tasks simultaneously, improving efficiency and reducing processing time.
Flexible Workflow Design: Easily create complex workflows by adding, editing, or removing branches as needed.
Conditional Logic Support: Implement advanced logic to determine which branches to activate based on specific criteria.
Error Handling: Ensure robust workflows with dedicated error-handling branches for different scenarios.
Real-time Monitoring: Track the execution of each branch in real time, providing visibility into the workflow's progress.

Benefits

Increased Productivity: Automate and parallelize tasks to reduce completion times and maximize output.
Enhanced Flexibility: Adapt workflows to meet dynamic requirements with easy-to-configure branching structures.
Simplified Complexity: Manage intricate processes in a streamlined and visual manner.
Error Mitigation: Minimize risks by isolating and handling errors within specific branches.
Scalability: Build workflows that grow with your needs, supporting additional branches or tasks as required.

What Can You Build?

Multi-step Automation: Run several tasks in parallel, such as processing data, sending emails, and updating records, all within a single workflow.
Simultaneous Integrations: Connect multiple tools or systems at the same time, ensuring efficient data synchronization and faster task execution.

Configuration

Open the Branch Node Configuration Panel::
- Here you can manage branches.
Define a respected node within each branch.

Note: Minimum two branches are required.

Low-Code Example

nodes:
  - nodeId: branchNode_663
    nodeType: branchNode
    nodeName: Branching
    values:
      branches:
        - label: Branch 1
          value: branchNode_663-addNode_484
        - label: Branch 2
          value: branchNode_663-addNode_801
    needs:
      - triggerNode_1
    branches:
      - label: Branch 1
        value: plus-node-addNode_484899
      - label: Branch 2
        value: plus-node-addNode_801189
  - nodeId: plus-node-addNode_484899
    nodeType: addNode
    nodeName: ''
    values: {}
    needs:
      - branchNode_663
  - nodeId: plus-node-addNode_801189
    nodeType: addNode
    nodeName: ''
    values: {}
    needs:
      - branchNode_663
  - nodeId: plus-node-addNode_227323
    nodeType: addNode
    nodeName: ''
    values: {}
    needs:
      - plus-node-addNode_484899
      - plus-node-addNode_801189

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Problem	Solution
Parallel Execution Errors	Verify that all branches are correctly configured and ensure no conflicts in dependencies.
Branch Activation Issues	Check conditional logic to ensure criteria are correctly defined.
Data Sync Delays	Ensure proper data mapping and synchronization across branches.
Error Handling Failures	Review error-handling logic and confirm fallback branches are set up correctly.

Debugging Tips

Verify branch and ensure all connections are correctly established.
Inspect logs for branch-specific error details to identify the root cause of failures.
Test individual branches independently before running the entire workflow.
Confirm input data consistency across all branches to avoid unexpected outcomes.
