Execution and Flow Control

The Execution and Flow Control functions let you manage how a Flow runs. You can stop or restart a Flow, track node executions, run other Flows, and set which Node executes next.

executeFlow

Syntax: executeFlow(config) Executes a target Flow starting from a specified Entrypoint Node.

setNextNode

Syntax: setNextNode(nodeId, flowId) Sets a custom Node with the given nodeId to be executed immediately after the current one.

resetNextNodes

Syntax: resetNextNodes() Clears any active overrides for the next Node in the Flow.

addConditionalEntrypoint

Syntax: addConditionalEntrypoint(params) Adds a conditional Entrypoint for the current conversation. This condition is used by the Optional Question Node.

(Deprecated) think

Syntax: think(text, data) Restarts Flow execution with a simulated input.

thinkV2

Syntax: thinkV2(text, data) Restarts Flow execution with a simulated input using the provided text and data.

stopExecution

Syntax: stopExecution() Stops processing the current input after this Node.

getExecutionAmount

Syntax: getExecutionAmount(nodeId) Retrieves the number of times a Node with the given nodeId has been executed during this conversation.

setExecutionAmount

Syntax: setExecutionAmount(nodeId, value) Returns the number of times the Node with the given nodeId has been executed in the current conversation.

resetExecutionAmount

Syntax: resetExecutionAmount(nodeId) Resets the number of executions to 0 for the Node with the given nodeId.
