Base Edge

The base edge is the default edge, and it connects one node to the next node in the flow. It is automatically created as soon as you add a new node, starting from the root trigger node.

Unless you explicitly choose a different type of edge (like a branch edge or else branch edge), the system assumes you want the flow to continue in a straight path.

This means that by default, every node you add to the flow will connect in a linear sequence. For example: Trigger → first action/condition → next action/condition → and so on.

The logical relationship between the base edge and different nodes is the following:

• Base edge connecting a trigger node to a condition node:
  If a piece of content meets the requirements of the trigger, that content moves along the base edge to the condition node where the content is filtered using the logic of the condition node and its elements to determine if the content should continue along the next edge to the next node.

• Base edge connecting a trigger node to an action node:
  If a piece of content meets the requirements of the trigger, that content moves along the base edge to the action node where the action elements are then executed.

• Base edge connecting a condition node to an action node:
  After a piece of content is filtered by the condition node and its elements, that content moves along the base edge to the action node where the action elements are then executed.

• Base edge connecting a condition node to a condition node:
  After a piece of content is filtered by the condition node and its elements, that content moves along the base edge to the next condition node where it is filtered again.

• Base edge connecting an action node to an action node:
  If the action execution is successful, the content moves along the base edge to the next action node where additional actions are executed.

• Base edge connecting an action node to a condition node:
  If the action execution is successful, the content moves along the base edge to the condition node where the content is then filtered using the logic of the condition node and its elements to determine if the content should continue along the next edge to the next node.
