Overview
Parallel gateways allow a workflow to split into multiple rows of activities. When the workflow reaches a parallel gateway, the user selects which row to follow. Activities in unselected rows are skipped.
Quick Steps
Selecting a Row
Advance the workflow to the parallel gateway start node.
Click Next Step — a picker appears with available row options.
Each row shows its label and first activity title.
Select a row and advance.
Workflow proceeds through the selected row's activities.
Activities in unselected rows are marked as Skipped.
Completing a Row
Complete all activities in the selected row.
The workflow reaches the gateway join/end node and continues to post-gateway activities.
Terminator Rows
A row can be configured as a terminator — its last activity does not connect back to the gateway join. When a terminator row is selected:
Completing the terminator row's last activity ends the workflow or skips post-join activities.
Activities after the gateway join are marked as skipped or the workflow shows completed.
Note: Unselected row activities always appear as Skipped in the execution timeline, regardless of whether they are terminator rows.
