  • Module 2: Learn how to use loops to repeat blocks of actions in a flow.
  • In this module, you will:

    • Use simple loops to perform a given number of repetitions and iterate through data
    • Deploy loop conditions in order to repeat actions until a condition is met
    • Iterate through the items of a list using for each loops
    • Explicitly end loops when required
  • Module 3: Learn how to use conditional actions to configure a flow to vary behavior at runtime-based information in the environment.
  • In this module, you will:

    • Use "If" conditionals
    • Deploy "Switch" conditionals in order to compare a single variable with multiple possible values
    • Explore additional options when evaluating conditions
    • Provide default and alternative behaviors for flows based on the environment data
