Queue

Introduction

Queue Management in Automate enables users to execute multiple flows in a specific order. Users can organize flows into pools, where each pool represents a collection of flows to be executed sequentially.

The primary purpose of Queue Management is to facilitate the orderly execution of flows, ensuring that they run in the desired sequence as defined by the user.

Queue Management involves creating pools, each containing a set of flows to be executed in order. This helps streamline workflow processes and ensures efficient task execution.
