📝 Overview

The Move Command lets you navigate to any operation within the same flowbot. This feature is available on all paid plans, except for the free plan.

You can use the Move Command after performing the following actions:

  • Branching: Split the flow into different paths.

  • Switching progress: Change the direction of the flow.

  • Parallel processing: Run multiple tasks at once.

  • Loop Command: Loop through the same task.


💡 Use Cases

Travel Expense Application

Imagine you have a Yoom form where users enter details like department and last month's travel expenses.

You can use the "Switch" action to separate the flow, allowing each department to approve expenses independently. No matter which path is followed, the application details are stored in a central expense database.

You can use the Move Command to direct the flow to the operation that manages this database.


🛠️ How to Configure

1. Set Up Other Progress Paths

Click the "+" button on the flowbot.

In the action settings popup, find actions like Branch and Switch. Configure them as needed.

2. Create the Destination Action

Before setting up the Move Command, first create the operation you want to move to.

3. Set Up the Move Command

Click the "+" button where you want to add the Move Command.

Select Move under Path Settings.

Configure the following:

  • Title: Give the move command a title. It's helpful to indicate the destination operation.

  • Destination Operation: Select the operation you want to move to.

Once you're done, click Save to finish the configuration.

⭐️ Important Notes

  • If there’s no destination operation set, the destination name won’t be shown.

  • Be careful when moving to an operation that has already been executed, as this may cause an infinite loop.

  • If you want to use the output from operations before the Move Command, make sure the output names (item names) are the same across all previous operations.
