Terminate

Terminate node for halting all active branches in a Flow process immediately, regardless of parallel work in progress.

What it does

Immediately stops the entire process, ending every branch that is still running.

Use Terminate to halt a process from a specific path, such as after detecting an unrecoverable error or reaching a conditional branch where no further work should happen anywhere in the process.

When to use this vs End

Situation	Use
Stop the whole process now, including any parallel branches still running	Terminate
Finish only the current branch and return its output while other branches continue	End

Terminate is global: it ends the process instance regardless of what else is in progress. End is local to its branch.

Configuration

The Terminate node has no configuration. The node that should stop the process connects to its input handle.

Notes

• Terminate stops execution cleanly. It doesn't raise an error on its own.
• Any parallel branches still in progress are ended when the process terminates. Terminate should be connected only on paths where stopping all remaining work is the intended outcome.
