Detect Changes

New page

The '''Detect Changes''' node is used to monitor specific variables or expressions within a workflow and detect if any changes occur after executing a series of tasks. This node helps identify dynamic changes in data during the workflow's runtime, enabling more responsive and adaptive process handling.

==== '''Configuration Fields''' ====

# '''Name''':
#* '''Description''': The unique name of the "Detect Changes" node.
#* '''Requirement''': Optional but recommended for clarity in workflows.
# '''Tracked Expression''':
#* '''Description''': Defines the variable or expression to monitor for changes during workflow execution.
#* '''Options''':
#** '''Script''': Use a script-based expression for complex logic and evaluations.
#** '''Handlebars Template''': Use a Handlebars-based template for straightforward dynamic evaluations.
#* '''Requirement''': Mandatory. You must specify the tracked expression.
# '''Output Flag Variable Name''':
#* '''Description''': The name of the output variable that will store a flag indicating whether a change was detected.
#* '''Values''':
#** The output variable will be assigned a boolean value:
#*** true: If a change in the tracked expression is detected.
#*** false: If no change is detected.
#* '''Requirement''': Mandatory.

----

==== '''Usage Example''' ====

# '''Scenario''':
#* Monitor the status of a database query result during a workflow. If the result changes (e.g., a new record is added), trigger a subsequent task to process the updated data.
# '''Setup''':
#* Set Tracked Expression to evaluate the database query output.
#* Specify an output flag variable name like isChanged.
#* Use a conditional node later in the workflow to check the isChanged flag and decide the next steps.

----

==== '''Key Features''' ====

* '''Dynamic Monitoring''': Tracks changes to expressions or variables in real time.
* '''Customizable Expressions''': Supports both script-based and Handlebars Template logic.
* '''Change Detection Output''': Provides a boolean flag for conditional logic downstream in the workflow.

This node is essential for workflows that depend on detecting changes in state or data to trigger dynamic actions.
