How can a flow modify its behavior during runtime?

A flow can modify its behavior during runtime primarily through the use of conditional actions. Conditional actions allow the flow to evaluate certain criteria or conditions while it is executing, enabling it to make real-time decisions about which actions to take next. This adaptability is a key feature of automation workflows because it allows the flow to respond dynamically to varying inputs or states without needing to define a rigid sequence of actions ahead of time.

For instance, if a flow is designed to process approvals, conditional actions could check the status of an approval request and determine whether to proceed with additional steps or take an alternative route if the request is denied. This flexibility is essential for creating robust and responsive automations.

While loop actions facilitate repetitive processing, allowing a flow to iterate over a set of items, they do not inherently modify the overall behavior of the flow itself during runtime. Instead, they execute a specified action multiple times based on the flow's initial logic rather than adapting based on conditions.

Subflows serve a different purpose; they are reusable components that can execute a predefined sequence of actions. While they can help structure and organize workflows, they do not influence the runtime behavior of the main flow based on real-time conditions.

Stating that a flow cannot change its behavior at runtime does not reflect
