Subflows

A subflow bundles multiple functions into a single, reusable custom function. You define which inputs go in and which output comes out. On the canvas, the subflow behaves like any other function: it has inputs, a trigger, and an output, and you wire it into your flows the same way.

Use subflows to:

• Reuse logic you need in several places instead of copying functions.

• Keep the canvas clean by hiding implementation details behind one block.

• Share a tested algorithm as a single building block.

Creating a subflow

1

Add a subflow

Drag a subflow from the toolbar onto the canvas. A named container appears, marked with a subflow label.

2

Add your logic

Add the functions that make up your logic to the container, just like adding functions to a group.

3

Define the interface

Connect your logic to the input, trigger, and output of the orange function block inside the container. This block defines the interface of your new custom function.

Naming a subflow

Every subflow gets a default name (e.g. run_aa7L). Edit the title of the container to rename it. The name updates in the Function Explorer accordingly.

Using a subflow

Once created, your custom function appears in the Function Explorer under Custom > Subflows. From there, drag it onto the canvas and use it like any built-in function.

Subflows vs. grouping

A group is a visual aid only and has no effect on execution. A subflow is a functional unit with a defined interface. Use groups to tidy up, use subflows to build reusable logic.
