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 ../../../Chunk2142641883.html 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.

Table 1. Turnstile activity results
Result Description
Continue The Allowed iterations value is greater than the number of times the workflow accessed this activity.
