Connection Basics
How Connections Work
Connections are the pathways that allow data to flow between blocks in your workflow. In Sim, connections define how information passes from one block to another, enabling data flow throughout your workflow.
Each connection represents a directed relationship where data flows from a source block's output to a destination block's input.
Creating Connections
Select Source Block: Click on the output port of the block you want to connect from
Draw Connection: Drag to the input port of the destination block
Confirm Connection: Release to create the connection
Connection Flow
The flow of data through connections follows these principles:
- Directional Flow: Data always flows from outputs to inputs
- Execution Order: Blocks execute in order based on their connections
- Data Transformation: Data may be transformed as it passes between blocks
- Conditional Paths: Some blocks (like Router and Condition) can direct flow to different paths
Deleting a connection will immediately stop data flow between the blocks. Make sure this is intended before removing connections.
