Creating and Managing Workflows

ThingWorx Flow > Creating and Managing Workflows

A workflow is a series of sequential steps that is designed to accomplish a unit of work, often as part of a broader business process.

In ThingWorx Flow, a workflow can be configured to be executed by external system events, via triggers, or by an external invocation via a webhook URL.

The steps in a workflow are actions that invoke RESTful services on third-party systems. Each action is configured with a connector for authentication and the input data is passed to the third-party system. The output from these actions can be used in subsequent actions in the workflow.

The following topics provide information about workflows:

• Creating workflows

• The Workflow Editor

• Adding and managing actions in a workflow

• Adding an inline expression to the action input field

• Mapping output of a previous action manually

• Setting conditions between two actions

• Changing a trigger in a workflow

• Testing workflow execution

• Workflow settings

• Managing existing workflows
