Use Helper Flows to Process Lists
Helper flows can mimic looping, reuse a series of steps multiple times in a single flow, and even break a large flow into smaller, more manageable parts.
As a Workflows admin, you will likely work with various types of lists–string, number, and object. Helper flows are key in helping you iterate over them without ever knowing a line of code.
Before building out your very first helper flow, however, it will be important to understand the nuances of lists, especially indexes.
Once there, we will introduce the For Each function–a game changer when it comes to flow building. Primary flows have aided you in mapping and transforming specified bits of data up to this point. Helper flows introduce new processing abilities that even go beyond lists!
Practice your skills with hands-on lab activities.
How to Use Lists in the Workflows Console
When working with a lot of data in the Workflows console, lists help you make sense of that data by distilling it based on criteria that you set.
