Jumps

You can use jumps to control what step in your workflow will execute next. For example, at the end of any step, you can use next to define what step should execute next:

 - STEP_NAME:  ...  next: STEP_NAME_TO_JUMP_TO  

 [  {  "STEP_NAME": {  ...  "next": "STEP_NAME_TO_JUMP_TO"  }  }  ]  

You can also use next to do the following:

• To change the flow of a for loop, you can use next: break or next: continue. For more information, see Use break/continue in a loop.

• To stop the execution of a workflow or subworkflow, you can use next: end. For more information, see Complete the execution of a workflow.

For more information about defining a workflow's order of execution, see Conditions and Control the order of execution in a workflow.

Explicit step ordering using jumps

This sample uses the next: command to explicitly define the sequence of workflow steps. In this sample, steps are executed in a different order than they appear in the workflow definition.

- first_step:  call: http.get  args:  url: https://www.somewhere.com/callA  next: second_step - third_step:  call: http.get  args:  url: https://www.somewhere.com/callB  next: end - second_step:  call: http.get  args:  url: https://www.somewhere.com/callC  next: third_step

[  {  "first_step": {  "call": "http.get",  "args": {  "url": "https://www.somewhere.com/callA"  },  "next": "second_step"  }  },  {  "third_step": {  "call": "http.get",  "args": {  "url": "https://www.somewhere.com/callB"  },  "next": "end"  }  },  {  "second_step": {  "call": "http.get",  "args": {  "url": "https://www.somewhere.com/callC"  },  "next": "third_step"  }  } ]
