Best practices for managing flows
To avoid issues with performance and control, keep these guidelines in mind:
-
Flows are linked to a specific version
Always disable flows for versions that are not needed. For example, if a new version is online but the old version must remain available, ensure only the required version has active flows. -
Only create flows when necessary
Each flow should have a clear purpose with a defined trigger and output. Ambiguous flows can cause loops and slow down the system. -
Use clear triggers
Always document the use case for each flow. This makes it easier to manage and troubleshoot later. -
Spread out time- or date-based triggers
If too many flows run at the same time, memory limits can be exceeded, leading to system slowness. Schedule flows so the load is distributed over time. -
Plan execution for large-scale flows
When running flows on large data sets, stagger the triggers to reduce peak load. -
Inactive versions do not run flows
Flows linked to versions that are offline will not execute.
Summary
Flows must be manually reactivated on each new publication version after approval to maintain control and prevent unintended executions. By following the best practices above, you can keep flows efficient, stable, and aligned with your publication needs.
