Router - order of execution

[bandelero]

Hey amazing Pabbly team,

I have a few questions about the Router order of execution:

(1) Is the execution of Router branches sequential or parallel?
(2) if Sequential, in what sequence does the Router execute branches? Top to bottom?

Cheers,

Evgeny

Hello @bandelero it executes parallel approach.

Hello @bandelero it executes parallel approach.

Could we have a setting to change a Router's operation to Serial if we choose?

Thus, data would flow down the Router Routes in order, starting at the first, whereby if the initial Filter in a Route returns False, it would move on to the next Route, but as soon as the Filter returned True, it would continue down that Route until the end of the Action steps and then stop the workflow (regardless of any more Routes further down the Router list.

Currently, there is no such option to change the Router's behaviour.

The use case you are trying to achieve has a workaround by adding a Router inside another Router.

Thanks for that, I'll check out that idea! (sounds a bit like Inception! ))
