Notify

Notify stores data under a name while the flow runs. Another part of the flow can pick it up with Listen using the same name, without joining them with a connection.

When to use it

• Passing data between two distant parts of the canvas without crossing connections.
• Accumulating results from several steps in a single list.

Configuration

Field	What it does
Name	The name the data is stored under. Use the same one in Listen.
Data	The data to store.
Append	On, the data is added to what was already stored under that name; off, it replaces it.

Output

The output returns the stored data, in case you want to keep using it in the flow.

Example

A flow processes several documents and wants a final summary with all the results.

1. After processing each document, add a Notify with Name results and Append on.
2. At the end of the flow, a Listen with Name results picks up the whole list.
