Early stop / Break

If defined, at the end of or before a step, the predicate expression will be evaluated to decide if the flow should stop early.

Early stop for a step

For each step of the flow, an early stop can be defined. The result of the step will be compared to a previously defined predicate expression, and if the condition is met, the flow will stop after that step.

• Pick the step you want to stop after.
• Go to Advanced, then Early stop/Break.
• Toggle on “Early stop or Break if condition met”.
• Write the condition you want to stop on, based on the step’s results. In the expression, you can use result to access the current step’s result and flow_input for the flow’s input. You can also reference previous steps’ results using results (e.g. results.a, results.b), which gives access to the full result map of all completed steps.
• Optionally, toggle on “Label flow as ‘skipped’ if stopped”. Skipped flows are just a label, useful to keep them out of the runs page.

Note

If an early stop runs within a for loop, it will just break the for loop and have it stop at that iteration instead of stopping the whole flow.

Early stop for a flow

To stop a flow early based on the flow inputs, you can set an “Early stop” from the flow settings. If the inputs meet the predefined condition, the flow will not run.
