In BR we synchronous as well asynchronous rule when it comes to flow how it behaves by default??Inside as per the logic it will be obviously synchronous.

 

But if want to write a script on business rule, I would write async as it is asynchronous. in the same manner what about flow.... when it comes to same logic if I want implement using flow designer?? How it acts synchronously or asynchronously?

Hi @KM SN 

Flows are Async by default.

//Async:
sn_fd.FlowAPI.getRunner().flow('flow_name').inBackground().withInputs(inputs).run();

//Sync
sn_fd.FlowAPI.getRunner().flow('flow_name').inForeground().withInputs(inputs).run();
