Output

Use this node to return a message from a sub-chain back to the parent rule chain that invoked it via a Rule Chain node. The name you give to the Output node becomes the connection label in the parent chain, so you can define multiple named outputs (e.g., Success, Failure, Valid) to drive different downstream flows.

This node requires no configuration. The node’s name (set when you add it to the rule chain) acts as the connection label used by the parent rule chain.

1. The node receives a message within the current (sub-)rule chain.
2. The message is returned to the parent rule chain that invoked this chain via a Rule Chain node.
3. In the parent rule chain the message exits from the Rule Chain node via the connection whose label exactly matches this Output node’s name.

For example:

• An Output node named Success routes messages via the Success connection in the parent chain.
• An Output node named Failure routes messages via the Failure connection in the parent chain.
• An Output node named Valid routes messages via the Valid connection in the parent chain.

This node has no output connections within its own rule chain. It returns messages to the parent rule chain where routing continues based on the Output node’s name as the connection label.
