The Branch ForEach step iterates through every item in an input Collection and passes them to one or more steps. This step is similar to the standard ForEach step, with two key differences:

It branches the Flow into multiple paths
The Flows following a Branching ForEach step do not need to complete the loop by forming a return path to the Branching ForEach step. The control of the Flow returns to the Branching ForEach step at the Flow's end automatically.

This can be useful for Parallel Approval processes that involve the iteration and Assignment of multiple pieces of data, i.e., displaying individual retrieved Account data on a Form. The following document demonstrates how to utilize a Branching ForEach step in for such use cases.

This step is meant to be exclusively used with Assigned Forms and is not meant for Batch Processing.

Properties

Collection

Property	Description	Data Type
Type	Allows a user to select a data type	---
Fail If Empty	Creates an outcome path for an empty value	Boolean

Inputs

Property	Description	Data Type
Collection	List of the specified Data Types	List of [DataType]

Common Errors

Using a Sub Flow between the Branch ForEach and Merge Step is a required configuration. Failure to utilize one will cause the Flow Designer to throw a Validation Warning. Thus, any Form following a Branch ForEach must be run via Sub Flow.
