Transitions
Transitions in Automation Builder Generation 2 behave a bit differently from transitions in Generation 1. Each task is only permitted to have one outgoing transition of each type (success, failure, and error), and loop and revert transitions are not supported.
The only exception to the one transition per task rule is the decision task. This task is used to choose an execution path among a sets of options based.
Adding Success Transitions
To add a transition between two unconnected tasks, click the Add Transition button to enter Add Transition Mode and click a task to transition to.
Add Transition
When hovering over a task while in Add Transition Mode, tasks which may be transitioned to will outline in green, while tasks that may not be transitioned to will outline in red. To find out why a particular task may not be transitioned to, click it to create a toast with a warning message explaining the violated rule.
Add Transition Mode: Green
Add Transition Mode: Red
Press the escape key or click on the empty canvas space to exit Add Transition Mode without adding a transition.
