What is the Break Tool and what does it do?
The Break Tool is designed to stop the flow of actions at the step where it is added. When this tool is used in a Flow, the execution will pause or completely terminate at that point. It's particularly useful when certain conditions aren’t met, or if you want to split processes into separate, manageable sections.
Unlike other tools, the Break Tool doesn’t require any settings to be configured—once added, it automatically halts the Flow at the specified step.
Note: The Break Tool works effectively alongside the Router Tool in situations where you need to guide your Flow to the Break Tool based on specific conditions being met.

Key challenges it resolves:
- Workflow control: Helps create decision points within your Flow where actions may need to stop.
- Process segmentation: This allows you to break long workflows into shorter sections by pausing at critical steps.
- Error prevention: Provides a safeguard to prevent further steps from executing if certain criteria aren't met.
How to Access the Break Tool
After selecting the Flow where you want to utilize the Break Tool, identify the specific steps within the Flow that require the application of your desired conditions.You can then add a Tool by clicking on the "+" button underneath each necessary step. Clicking the "Tool" option will allow you to select from a range of different tools Flows offers, including the Break Tool.
