Turnstile workflow activity
The Turnstile activity limits how many times a workflow can pass through the same point.
Use this activity to prevent infinite loops. This activity is useful alongside the Rollback To workflow activity activity.
Results
You can assign a result value using the activity.result variable from within a script field of the activity. By default, the activity script evaluates if the activity should continue to iterate or stop.
| Result | Description |
|---|---|
| Continue | The Allowed iterations value is greater than the number of times the workflow accessed this activity. |
| Cancel | The workflow accessed this activity more times than the Allowed iterations value. |
Input variables
Input variables determine the initial behavior of the activity.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Allowed iterations | Number of times the workflow can pass through this activity before the turnstile ends the loop. |
Conditions
The conditions determine which transition comes after this activity.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Continue | If the workflow has returned to this point an amount of times less than the allowed iteration. |
| Cancel | If the workflow has returned to this point an amount of times more than the allowed iteration. |
States
The activity state tells the workflow engine what to do with the activity.
| State | Description |
|---|---|
| Executing | The workflow engine knows to start the onExecute function of the activity. |
| Waiting | The workflow engine ignores the activity until a specific event to restart the activity is triggered. |
| Finished | The activity finished running. See the result value for the outcome of the activity. |
| Cancelled | This activity, or the workflow that contains this activity, was canceled. |
| Error | A JavaScript error occurred. Review the logs for error details. |
