A flow comprises a trigger and one or multiple actions. The trigger determines the starting point of the flow, which can be based on records, schedules, or applications. For example, record-based triggers initiate a flow when a record is created, updated, or deleted.
The sequence of flow processing within ServiceNow is as follows:
- Flow Trigger: When the flow trigger conditions are met, or an API directly calls the flow, the system generates an entry in the event queue to initiate the flow.
- Scheduler Activation: The scheduler processes the event from the queue and starts executing the flow in the background.
- Process Plan Creation: The system constructs a process plan based on the flow design, outlining the necessary steps and actions to be performed.
- Process Execution: Using the record that triggered the flow, the system executes the process plan, carrying out the defined actions and operations.
- Context Record Storage: The execution details of the flow are stored in a context record, providing a record of the flow’s operation and outcomes for future reference.
