A multi-instance flow is a base flow that you configure once and use to generate customized instances. You manage a multi-instance flow's instances, errors, and run history from the base flow's Instances tab. This article covers navigating a multi-instance flow and enabling or disabling base flows and instances.
Prerequisites
You must have Manage permissions on the integration to change a multi-instance flow or its instances.
After you've configured your base flow and instances, you can view your instances, connection details, and audit logs.
In your Instances tab, you can:
- Configure your customizable properties.
- Create an instance.
- Investigate errors for each instance.
- Review when your instance was last updated or last run.
- Run your instance on-demand or on a schedule.
-
Enable or disable your instance.
Warning
Disabling a base flow disables all of its instances, even instances that are enabled individually.
Note: On the Flows page (Build > Flows), the Last run value for a multi-instance base flow is the most recent run of any of its instances. When you sort the Flows page by Last run, base flows are sorted by that value. If a base flow shows no Last run time, or an outdated one, it updates the next time one of its instances runs.
Note: Cloning or pulling an integration doesn't carry a base flow's instances. See Multi-instance flows in the ILM overview.
You can enable or disable multi-instance base flows and individual instances. A base flow uses the Test mode and Enabled switch at the top of the flow, and each instance has an Off/On toggle on the Instances tab. Disabling a flow doesn't stop a run that's in progress, but it stops all later scheduled runs. Before you enable or disable a base flow or instance, review how the two settings interact:
- When a base flow is enabled, you can enable or disable any of its instances.
- When a base flow is disabled, you can't make changes to any instances.
- When a base flow is disabled, all its instances are considered disabled, even if they are enabled individually.
- When a base flow is re-enabled, every previously enabled instance is automatically re-enabled.
