Reusable workflow recipe

Install an immutable versioned recipe with independent bindings and overrides.

Install an immutable versioned recipe with independent bindings and overrides.

When to use it

Install a reusable recipe as an independent instance. Bind its inputs and retain local overrides separately from the library definition. Preview a version upgrade and resolve removed or changed customised members before applying it.

Add and configure

  1. Add Reusable workflow recipe from the workflow step picker.
  2. Give the step a recognisable name and connect its required inputs.
  3. Set the options below. Nested names identify fields within an object or a list item.
  4. Validate the recipe, inspect the test result, then run it on the intended data.

The step identifier used in the editor’s code view is workflow_fragment.

Settings

SettingAccepted valueRequiredDefaultWhat it controls
Bindings (bindings)objectNoNot specifiedValues supplied to the reusable workflow’s named binding points.
LibraryDefinition (definition)objectYesNot specifiedVersioned definition of the model call or reusable workflow member. Nested settings describe its content.
Jobs (definition.jobs)list of object; minimum items 1; maximum items 1024YesNot specifiedMember jobs in the reusable workflow definition.
Name (definition.name)string; pattern ^[a-z][a-z0-9_-]{0,63}$YesNot specifiedStable name of the versioned definition.
Outputs (definition.outputs)list of string; minimum items 1; maximum items 1024YesNot specifiedMember identifiers designated as outputs of the reusable workflow.
Version (definition.version)string; pattern ^(0|[1-9]\d*)\.(0|[1-9]\d*)\.(0|[1-9]\d*)(-[0-9A-Za-z.-]+)?(\+[0-9A-Za-z.-]+)?$YesNot specifiedSemantic version identifying the immutable definition.
Overrides (overrides)object of objectNoNot specifiedPer-member setting changes layered onto the selected reusable definition.
Sha256 (sha256)string; pattern ^[a-f0-9]{64}$YesNot specifiedExact content digest of the reusable definition. A mismatched definition is rejected.

Effects, testing, and recovery

Transforms or passes records without a declared external side effect.

The declared preview behaviour is to execute this step. Reads, processing, or model usage can therefore be real. Read dry runs before using a preview with live connections.

No duplicate-prevention key is declared for this step. The step declares safe replay for its supported recovery path.

Example: Independent pass-through instance

Step settings:

{
  "bindings": {},
  "definition": {
    "jobs": [
      {
        "config": {},
        "handler": "read_input",
        "id": "input"
      }
    ],
    "name": "pass_through",
    "outputs": [
      "input"
    ],
    "version": "1.0.0"
  },
  "overrides": {},
  "sha256": "eee43d593536c32245016e776ae2c96a7ceae7574fd096e98fd7d91a130aa9c7"
}

Check the result

Inspect the selected run’s status, counts, errors, and output records. An empty collection can be a valid result, and a completed step can contain per-record failures where the step defines that behaviour. Check the next step’s expected record shape before publishing or delivering the result.
