Create a Flow Run By Trigger

There are 6 kinds of triggers for running Flow in the Flow Service. We will instruct about the procedure for creating a Flow, the input/output information of a Flow and the essential information for each trigger here.

• Flow run by HTTP
  Make a connection between the Flow and a URL, then send an HTTP request from any client side to run the Flow.
• Flow run by SOAP
  Make a connection between the Flow and a method name, then send a SOAP request from any SOAP client side to run the Flow.
• Flow run by FTP
  Monitor the folders in the FTP service built in the Flow service, then forward a file to run the Flow.
• Flow run by mail monitoring
  Monitor the mai server in the Flow service regularly, then send a mail to run the Flow.
• Flow run by message queue monitoring
  Monitor the JMSQueue System's message queue in the Flow service regularly, once a message is received, the Flow will run.
• Flow run by schedule
  By the schedular built in the Flow service, run the Flow according to the schedule.

Flow's Input/Output Information

Once a Flow is executed by trigger, the Flow service will analyze the called input information, and set the "input stream" and the essential parameter as input information to pass it to the Flow. The information output to the caller is the Flow's output stream. Some trigger don't have input information, parameters, or output information.
