Creating Flows and Triggers

An app can have one or more flows and a flow can be attached to one or more triggers.

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. A trigger can have multiple flows attached to it.

This section contains the following topics:

• Flows
  An app can contain one or more flows. This section contains information on creating and managing flows in your app.
• Triggers
  Triggers are used to activate flows. This section contains information on creating and managing triggers in your app.
• Synchronizing Schema Between Trigger and Flow
  If you make any changes to the schema that you entered when creating the trigger, you must save any changes you make explicitly then you must propagate the changes to the flow input and flow output.
• Data Mappings
  TIBCO Cloud Integration - Flogo (PAYG) provides a graphical data mapper to map data between the activities within a flow, and between the trigger and the flow linked to each other within an app. Use the mapper to enter the flow or activity input values manually or map the input schema elements to output data of the same data type from preceding activities, trigger, or the flow itself.
