Concepts

The following describes some concepts that are used in the TIBCO Cloud Integration- Flogo (PAYG) environment.

Apps: Flogo apps are developed as event-driven apps using triggers and actions and contain the logic to process incoming events. A Flogo app consists of one or more triggers and one or more actions such as flows.

Trigger: Triggers receive events from external sources such as Kafka, Salesforce, GraphQL and so on. Handlers dispatch events to actions such as flow. TIBCO Cloud Integration- Flogo (PAYG) provides a set of out-of-the-box triggers as well as a range of connectors for receiving events from a variety of external systems.

Flow: The Flogo ecosystem provides a set of actions for processing events in a manner suitable to your implementation logic. The flow is one of the actions in Flogo that allows you to implement the business logic as a process. Flows are visually designed and tested using the Web UI. A Flow can consist of one or more activities that perform a specfic task. Activities are linked and can contain conditional logic for branching. Each Flow also has a default error handler. A Flogo app can have one or more flows. A flow can be triggered by one or more Triggers within the application.

Activity: Activities perform specific tasks within the flow. A flow typically contains multiple activities.
