Creating Flows and Triggers

An app can have one or more flows and a flow can be attached to one or more triggers. Similarly, a trigger can have multiple flows attached to it.

Flows

Each flow represents specific business logic in an app. A flow contains one or more activities. The flow execution is started by a trigger. A new flow can be created only from the app details page.

Triggers

You have the option to create a trigger without creating a flow. You can create a trigger from an existing specification that you have saved in either the TIBCO Cloud™ Integration - API Modeler or on your local machine. Optionally, you can create a trigger when creating a flow by selecting the Start with a trigger option during flow creation.

Activities, Triggers, Unit test, Properties and Schema Panel

You can add a trigger or an activity in a flow from the Activities or Triggers palettes available in this panel. You can also get in or out of the unit test mode using the Unit Test palette. Properties and Schemas palette can be used to manage the properties and schemas. By default the panel exists on the right side of the canvas, but by clicking the Move to Left icon you can move the panel to the left of the canvas.
