The Copy connector adds a branching shape to the flow, sending incoming messages to other connectors.
Key Capabilities
- Creates multiple processing paths from single input messages
- Visual flow branching with unlimited output connections
- Maintains original message content across all output paths
Overview
Copy connectors are primarily configured visually in the flow designer. When you connect a Copy connector to other connectors in the flow, messages that reach the Copy connector are sent to all connected connectors. This allows files to be processed by multiple flows.
When you add a Copy connector, it automatically creates two output nodes. To add more, click Add Copy. If an output node does not have a connection associated with it, messages remain in the Output folder for that node.
