Run Rules let you control the sequence flows run in. Each rule defines one before set and one after set of flows. You can select flows by name, group, or tag. The order flows run in doesn’t always matter, but when it does — for example, when you want quick sanity checks to complete before longer or more complex flows — Run Rules give you that control.

​
Create a Run Rule

1
From the Runs tab, click Rules under Scheduled.
2
Click Create Rule to open a drawer.
3
Define which flows, groups, or tags should run before and after the others.See Use tags effectively if you want to use tags to select flows.
4
Toggle Fail workflows if any priors fail to automatically skip downstream flows when an earlier flow fails. This is enabled by default.
Use this when failures in an earlier set of flows — for example, sanity tests — make later flows likely to fail for the same reason. Skipping those later flows reduces noise, shortens run time, and keeps the failure list focused on the root cause.
5
Click Create Rule to save.
Only active flows execute in a run. Drafts are ignored even if they’re part of a rule.
To run flows in a sequence like A → B → C, create two rules: run A before B, and run B before C.
The UI prevents most circular setups, but it’s good practice to double-check your before and after sets.
