Start Node

The Start node marks the pipeline entry. It tells the runtime where to read the initial context and whether subsequent stages/nodes should execute. Place it at the top of the first stage to decide if the pipeline should even launch.

Parameters

FieldTypeRequiredDescription
namestringâœ”ī¸Node name for logs and the UI, e.g. start-order-sync.
conditionsstringBoolean expression or variable placeholder like ${ENV} == "prod". When false, the pipeline stops immediately.

Usage Tips

  • Keep names descriptive so different trigger sources are easy to identify.
  • Each pipeline should have exactly one Start node to avoid ambiguous entry points.
  • Move complex logic into helper nodes or variables; the Start node should only return a final true/false decision.
