This Simple Trick Will Save You!
Ever found yourself needing to temporarily bypass a section in your Zenphi flow? Maybe you're testing something new, or perhaps a certain step isn't relevant for a specific use case.
While Zenphi doesn't yet have a "skip action" feature, there's a surprisingly easy workaround!
The Boolean Variable Solution
Create a boolean variable: Head over to your Zenphi flow editor and create a new variable. Name it something descriptive like "SkipTheseSteps" or "BypassThisSection".
Set the default value: Set the initial value of this variable to "true" if you want to skip the steps, or "false" if you want them to run normally.
Add an "If Condition": Insert an "if" condition block at the point in your flow where you want the potential skip to occur.
Set the condition: In the "if" block, use the condition "Except When SkipTheseSteps = true":
Place your actions: Put the actions you want to potentially skip inside the "true" branch of the "if" block, and leave the false branch empty.
That's it!
Now, by simply changing the value of your "SkipTheseSteps" variable, you can control whether or not that section of your flow executes.
When the steps you skip deliver an outcome that you use further down the flow, those steps will, of course fail.
