Workflow Nodes	Description	Image
Start	Default node that appears when you open the Process Editor. You could pass parameters to the Start node.
End	Default node that appears when you open the Process Editor. You could return the parameters from the End node.
Call	Useful when you want to connect to third-party repositories. You can connect to BOs and perform operations( create, delete, fetch, etc.)
Document Processing	A document processing node is used to extract data from documents, but first, those documents need to be trained in an AI Editor.
Iterate	Useful when you want to iterate based on a list of objects or ranges.
If Else	Useful when you want to perform actions, based on certain conditions. You can have further branches based on the if/else condition.
Log	Useful when you want to publish the Log status in Kibana.
Sleep	Useful when you want to keep the workflow on hold for a specific time.
Transform	Useful when you want to transform the data during the workflow.
Validate	Useful when you want to validate the expressions.
Parallel	Useful when you want to execute multiple tasks simultaneously in a workflow
Subprocess	A subprocess node, when used within a process, serves as a container that can invoke another process.  You can call and execute another process as needed, creating a hierarchical workflow structure.
Logic	Useful when you want to include custom code within a process flow, enabling the implementation of complex business logic.
Raise Exception	Useful when you need to trigger an exception
Wait for Signal	Useful for you to pause the execution of a workflow for a specific amount of time. If a signal is received before the timeout, the workflow will continue; otherwise, it will fail or follow a predefined error path.
Business Object Read	Useful when you need to pause the execution of a workflow until a specific signal or event occurs
