Workflow icons

The 29 workflow icons in Automation, described

Catch blockcatch-block

A catch block — where a failure lands and is handled, the safety net.

Compensatecompensate

Compensate — the undo travelling the road back through a saga.

Dead letterdead-letter

A dead-letter queue — where messages that could not be delivered end up.

End to endend-to-end

End to end — from the first thing to the last, the whole way through.

Finally blockfinally-block

A finally block — cleanup that runs no matter how the try went.

For eachfor-each

For each — the same steps run once per item in a list, an iteration loop.

Loop steploop-step

A loop step — round again and again until the condition is done.

Map stepmap-step

A map step — the same operation applied to each item, fanned out in parallel.

Parallelparallel

Parallel — two branches running at the same time, fanned out then joined.

Prioritypriority

Priority — this one before the others, urgent and ahead of the queue.

Queuequeue

A queue — work waiting its turn in line, a backlog of pending jobs or messages.

Retry flowretry-flow

A retry flow — it failed, waited with backoff, and went again.

Retry policyretry-policy

A retry policy — how many attempts, and how far apart, with backoff.

Sagasaga

A saga — a chain of steps where every step knows how to undo itself.

Scatter-gatherscatter-gather

Scatter-gather — fan the work out in parallel, then everyone reports back and the results merge.

Sequencesequence

A sequence — this, then that, then the next, steps in a fixed order.

Stepstep

A step — one thing at a time, a single increment in a longer sequence.

Task graphtask-graph

A task graph — which tasks have to happen before which, a DAG of dependencies.

Task nodetask-node

A task node — one piece of work in a graph, with what comes before and after.

Throwthrow-error

Throw — eject the error out of this block and make it somebody else's problem.

Try blocktry-block

A try block — run the code ready for the worst, guarded so a failure can be caught.

Two-phasetwo-phase

Two-phase commit — everyone says ready before anyone says go.

Workflowworkflow

A workflow — steps that run in order automatically, without anyone watching them.

New workflowworkflow-add

New workflow — start a flow from nothing with an empty canvas.

Workflow failworkflow-fail

Workflow fail — the flow broke partway, an error turned it red.

Workflow pauseworkflow-pause

Workflow pause — the flow held where it is, suspended and waiting.

Workflow runworkflow-run

Workflow run — the flow is going, started and active right now.

Workflow stopworkflow-stop

Workflow stop — the flow ended before its end, cancelled or killed.

Workflow templateworkflow-template

A workflow template — a starter flow with the blanks still in it.

In code, each is one import — import { CatchBlock } from "@iconmind/react/icons/catch-block" — and the same name in Vue, Svelte, Solid, Preact, React Native, Astro, Blade and Flutter.
