States are the building blocks of a circuit that can perform tasks, make decisions, or simply pass the output from one state to another.  The state defines a specific task or process that has to be executed in that segment of the circuit.

Circuit states are categorized as follows:

• Flow Controls

• Functional states

• Bridge Controls
  

Flow Controls 

Flow controls help you create complex workflows that orchestrate the flow of logic and data in the circuit. Flow Controls comprises the following states:

• Pass - Passes input from one state to another.
• Branch - Defines the execution branches; the input and/or output of a state directs the execution flow.
• Parallel - Performs simultaneous executions.
• Wait - Inserts a delay for the specified time.
• Batch - Implements multiple group executions.
• Success - Terminates an execution, returning success status.
• Failure - Terminates an execution, returning failure status.
  

• Function
• Webhook
• Circuit
  

Bridge Controls  

1. Task Engine - Connects and executes an API from a closed space.
   
2. DB Task - Executes a SQL query in a Database hosted on a private network.
   
3. SSH Task - Perform actions using shell command or script in the intended Unix/Linux machine.
   
4. Files - Create workflows for file management.
1. File Upload
   
2. File Transfer
5. AD Task - Integrate and perform actions in the AD service in the client network.
   
1. Add AD Group
   
2. Add User to Group   
3. Add AD Computer
4. Enable AD User  
5. Disable AD User
6. Reset AD Password
7. Unlock AD User
8. Remove AD Object                  
   
9. Update AD Object
   
10. Read AD Object
6. PowerShell task Engine - Perform actions using PowerShell command or script in a Windows machine.
1. PowerShell Engine
   
2. Install WindowsApp
   
3. Uninstall WindowsApp
   
4. Start Service
   
5. Stop Service    
   
6. Restart WindowsServer  

Common State attributes

1. Name: A unique name assigned to states when they are added to a circuit to identify the states within the circuit. Name can be modified under the  Configuration section available on the right pane.
2. Type: The actual state type is mentioned in this field. While you drag and add a state to the circuit, the state will be automatically allocated in the Type field. You can also select the state from the dropdown list available in this field.
3. Next State: The name of the next state that has to be run after the completion of the current state is given in this field. Except for the terminal states 'Success' and 'Failure', all the other states must define this field. The last state of the circuit should be assigned the next state value as End.
4. Input Path: Allows you to control the actual input passed to the state. It selects parts of the input JSON to pass to the state.
5. Result Path: Allows you to manipulate the output of a state. After the input is processed by the state, the result path determines what combination of the state result and the actual state input has to be passed to the output.
6. Output Path: Output path further filters the data from the Result Path to pass it as state output.
7. Parameters: Parameters allow you to control the actual input passed to the state. It enables you to insert a collection of key-value pairs into the input. Parameter values can either be static or parts of the input JSON selected as paths.

Every field and its values are case-sensitive. Once a value is defined, the exact value must be passed throughout the Circuit.
