Merge

Merge activities converge multiple process paths into a single path to continue the process execution. By default, it waits for all branches to complete before proceeding. You can change this behavior from the Properties panel, allowing the activity to wait for the first branch to complete before proceeding.

Split and Merge activities are recommended for workflows requiring concurrent activities, such as gathering approvals from multiple departments or performing simultaneous data validation and enrichment.

Note:

The Merge activity corresponds to the Parallel Gateway, Inclusive Gateway, and Event Based Gateway elements in BPMN.

Managing Merge

To configure a Merge activity in your process:

1. Drag and drop the Merge activity to your canvas.
2. Add activities and link them to the Merge activity.
3. For the Merge condition property, select:
   1. Waiting for all - to continue the process once all activities complete
   2. Waiting for one - to continue the process once one linked activity completes
4. Optionally, select the canvas element of each path and provide a value to the Label property. This helps you describe the Merge operation.
