Which to use among Sequence, Flowchart, State Machine?

Hi All

When starting a project, how to decide what to use among Sequence, Flowchart, State Machine or RE Framework ?

See this guide for the differences between the three.

Hi @kkpatel

See this link for your reference it might be helpful to you.

Difference between sequence flowchart statemachines

This is the description of what these workflows are, but I want to know the respective situations to use “State Machine” and “Flow Chart”. Could you please help in this case!

cheers

Happy learning

Depending on what workflow you want to develop.

SEQUENCE → When multiple branching is not required, When your project is not complex and does not connect activities in multiple ways .

FLOWCHART → A type of project that consists of various activities which can be connected to one another in multiple ways, enabling you to automate simple actions and create complex business processes. It yields diagrams that help you easily view and follow your process. Flowcharts can be either used as stand-alone automation projects or included in procedures of greater amplitude.

STATE MACHINE → A state machine is a type of automation that uses a finite number of states in its execution. It can go into a state when it is triggered by an activity, and it exits that state when another activity is triggered.

Another important aspect of state machines are transitions, as they also enable you to add conditions based on which to jump from one state to another. These are represented by arrows or branches between states.

Mark it as a solution if my comments have helped you.
