Overview

A Chain is a workflow that connects multiple jobs together. Jobs in a chain execute in sequence, passing data through events.

Action Area

The Action Area provides the following controls:

ActionDescription
Create New ChainStart a new chain on the Canvas
Delete ChainsDelete selected chains (select using checkboxes)

Chain List

The table shows all chains with the following information:

  • Name — Chain title (click to open in Canvas)
  • Status — Active, Draft, or Inactive
  • Jobs — Number of jobs in the chain
  • Last Modified — When the chain was last updated

Filtering

Filter chains by status using the status pills:

  • Active — Currently running chains
  • Draft — Chains in development
  • Inactive — Paused chains

Opening a Chain

Click any chain name to open it in the Canvas for editing. The Canvas shows the chain as a visual workflow where you can:

  • View the flow of jobs and events
  • Click individual job nodes to edit them
  • Add new jobs between existing ones
  • Test the entire chain
  • View execution logs for the chain

Chain Status

Chains have status just like jobs. To activate a chain so it responds to external events:

  1. Open the chain in Canvas
  2. Click Edit details in the Action Area
  3. Change status from Draft to Live
  4. Click Save Changes

Deleting Chains

To delete chains, first select them using the checkboxes, then click Delete Chains. Note that chains containing jobs cannot be deleted — unlink the jobs first.
