The Global Workflow Object is tailored to keep track of data transformations and responses throughout the workflow's execution:

• Input (optional): Initial data input passed via POST request if the workflow starts with a flow that has no source.

• Flow Steps: Each flow within the workflow contributes to this object, where each step might include:

  • Data: This part holds the results of data transformations by the flow.

  • Response: Stores the output or response received from the destination API after the data is processed and sent.

Usage and Functionality

• Sequential Execution: Each flow accesses and possibly modifies the Global Workflow Object, allowing subsequent flows to utilize the transformed data and responses from previous steps.

• Conditional Logic: The object structure supports workflows where flows can be dynamically adjusted or skipped based on conditions evaluated during the workflow execution.
