  • Branched nodes in a workflow
    Patent number: 10708388
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for defining an action node series at a database system are described. In some examples, the workflow may include one or more nodes are associated with an action. When executed, the workflow may produce an outcome based on the occurrence of an event or parameter associated with the one or more nodes. In some examples, the workflow may include one or more branch nodes. A branch node may include logic such that, when the workflow is executed, the logic selects a particular workflow path that includes its own specific nodes. The path may be selected based on the occurrence of an event or a value of one or more parameters. Thus, when a workflow including one or more branch nodes is executed, the outcome of the workflow may be based on the occurrence of the event or the value of the parameter.
