Saved flow triggers
Save a set of trigger definitions as a reusable trigger. Enable flow authors to select the saved trigger from some or all application flows. Specify whether flow authors can see the trigger details or add conditions to the trigger.
Benefits
- Allow flow authors to select predefined trigger definitions without the hassle of creating a trigger.
- Push changes to every flow that uses a saved trigger rather than having to update each flow manually.
- Reuse trigger definitions in multiple flows.

-
Determine whether to run the flow in the background or in the current session.
Option Description Run flow in background (default) Flow that runs asynchronously in the background. Use this option for flows that don't require immediate updates and to allow other system processes to run at the same time. Run flow in foreground Flow that runs synchronously in the current session. Use this option to provide immediate updates to an end user. For example, if a flow opens a task after the previous task closes, use this option to open the next task immediately after a user closes one. 注:Running a flow in foreground may block the current session thread and prevent user input until the flow finishes. Avoid running flows in the foreground when they contain actions that cannot be interrupted, such as actions that run script. Actions or flow logic that pause a flow will not block a session.
