The Custom Code Workflow Node in DecisionRules provides users with the flexibility to integrate their own JavaScript code within a decision-making process. This feature allows for enhanced control, customization, and logic that extends beyond predefined rules or workflows.
A node can be considered a fundamental building block of a workflow. The workflow provides a variety of nodes to support the implementation of both core business processes and supplementary functions. All available nodes are organized in the palette located on the right side of the workflow editor. These nodes are grouped into five main categories:
Each category contains specialized nodes, you can find more details about this in our documentation.
In this article, we will focus on exploring the Custom Code Node in detail.
The Custom Code Node enables users to insert and execute their custom JavaScript code. By using this node, users can create specialized logic that isn’t directly supported by other nodes, enabling them to craft more complex or specific decision-making processes.
Custom code nodes can handle various tasks like data transformations, integrating third-party services, or adding logic that is unique to your specific use case.
The Custom Code Workflow Node in DecisionRules is a powerful tool that allows users to introduce flexibility and customization within their workflows. By enabling the use of JavaScript, it extends the system's functionality, making it possible to incorporate custom logic, complex transformations, and third-party integrations. Proper use of this node can enhance the decision-making process, providing solutions that are tailored to unique business needs. However, careful planning, testing, and optimization are crucial to ensure the effectiveness and reliability of custom code in production workflows.
