Hi All,

I was wondering if there is a possibility to stop executing the outgoing task. Of course there is the conditional transformer and you can filter out unnecessary data, but in some use-cases it could be nice to have a other possibility. It would be nice to have a “stop processing transformer” that returns a failed or processed, based on a condition.

Or is there a nice work-around for this?

Hi @gijs.epping

Welcome to our forum 🙂

Regarding your questions, could you please confirm my understanding that you expect a transformer or something to stop the execution process on outgoing based on a condition?

If that’s what you expect, we don’t have that kind of feature yet. But there is a possibility that makes the task will be skipped, so the process will not continue.

Hi Gijs  
Welcome to the forum!

You can skip tasks, in the example configuration there’s an example transformer that skips them based on a condition.  
Basically if the payload becomes null, the task will be skipped.

You can read the description in the ‘[EXAMPLE] Skip a task’ transfomer.

The ‘no action publisher’ in the outgoing configuration might also be interesting depending on the usecase.
