**Introduction**

Creating and managing Routes often requires navigating between multiple pages, such as Incoming, Route, and Outgoing configurations. The **Route Builder** provides a visual way to create and manage integrations by mapping out the full data flow, from Incoming data to final output, within a single screen.

It gives you a clear overview of how data moves through the Route and enables users to configure and adjust each step directly within the flow, making route creation more intuitive and efficient.

**Guide**

Step 1: Navigate to **Integrations → Routes** and click **Create a new route**. Switch to Route Builder (instead of Classic view) to start building visually.

Step 2: Click **Start here** , then **Create an incoming configuration**. Select an existing Incoming configuration from the list, or create a new one directly from this view.

Step 3: Click **Add trigger** above the Incoming configuration.  
Choose one of the available options:

- Set up a scheduler (for periodic execution)
- Set up a webhook (for real-time triggers).

Step 4: After the Incoming configuration, you can add **Transformers**. Click the transformer block to select or configure transformations. Use this step to modify, filter, or enrich your data

Step 5: The **New tasks** step shows where processed data becomes tasks within Alumio.  
Step 6: Add an Outgoing configuration by clicking **Create an outgoing configuration**. Select an existing outgoing configuration, or create a new one.

Step 7: Click **Add Scheduler** near the outgoing configuration if needed.

Step 8: Ensure the flow ends with **Finished tasks** , indicating successful processing.

Step 9: Adjust settings. Use the **Enabled toggle** (top right) to activate or deactivate the route. Open **Advanced settings** for additional configuration options.

The **Advanced settings** modal in Alumio provides granular control over how tasks are processed, retried, and scheduled within a specific route. These settings are essential for optimising performance and ensuring data integrity during complex integrations.

**Task Retrying -** This section allows you to automate the recovery of failed tasks.

- **Enable task retrying:** When toggled, Alumio will automatically attempt to re-run tasks that encounter errors.
- **Attempted retries:** Define the maximum number of times the system should try to process the task before marking it as permanently failed.
- **Retry interval:** Set the duration (in minutes) the system should wait between each retry attempt.
- **Statuses:** You can specify which specific error statuses should trigger a retry. If left empty, the system will retry for any failure-indicating status.

> **Note:** For retrying to function, a scheduler must be specifically configured for this route.

**Waiting Status -** By default, Alumio marks processed tasks as “Finished.” Enabling this setting changes the post-processing status to “Waiting,” requiring a manual intervention to change the status to “Finished” or “Failed.” This is useful for workflows requiring human oversight or manual verification.

**Real-time Processing -** Enabling this allows Alumio to run the route immediately as tasks are created by the incoming data. When this is active, a scheduler is not required, as the integration reacts instantly to incoming data.

**Parallel Processing -** This allows for multiple data export processes to run concurrently, which can significantly speed up high-volume integrations.

**Maximum parallel processes:** Set the limit for how many processes can run at once.

> **Caution:** This feature can’t be used simultaneously with "Real-time processing”. Improper configuration can lead to race conditions or data inconsistencies. Ensure multiple schedulers are set up for the route to support concurrent exports safely.

Step 10: Click **Save & continue** to store your configuration.
