The Inclusive Gateway Split node routes the workflow down one or more paths simultaneously. All output links whose conditions are met execute in parallel—unlike the Exclusive Gateway node which only follows one. Pair with an Inclusive Gateway Join node to merge the paths back together. Use it when multiple conditions might be true at the same time and each matching path should run.
Unqork provides three gateway node types for branching paths:
- Exclusive Gateway node: Follows exactly one path—the first output link whose condition is met. Use for if/else logic.
- Inclusive Gateway Split node: Follows one or more paths—all output links whose conditions are met run in parallel. Use when multiple conditions might be true at the same time.
- Parallel Gateway Split node: Follows all paths simultaneously—no conditions required. Use when every branch must always run.
How to read settings tables
The tables below describe each configurable option as it displays in the Unqork IDE. Values are formatted as follows:
inline code— a value to type exactly as shown | Bold — a value selected from a drop-down, radio button, tab, or choice chip | ON/OFF — toggle state | ✓ — checkbox checked | ☐ — checkbox unchecked
Settings
| Setting | Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Label | label |
Text input | inclusive-gateway-split-{n} |
A display name for the node. |
| Error Message | errorMessage |
Text input | — | The message displayed when no output link condition is met. |
| Output Links | — | — | — | Conditions are configured on the output links connecting from this node. All links whose conditions are met execute simultaneously. |
Link Settings
When you click an output link connecting from this node, the settings panel displays settings specific to this link type. For the full reference, see Output Links.
| Setting | Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Label | label |
Text input | — | A display name for the link. |
| Condition | formula |
Text input | — | The expression evaluated to determine whether the workflow follows this link. |
| Unidirectional | uni |
Toggle | OFF | When set to ON, this setting lets the workflow proceed without waiting for this path to complete. |
| Use Flash Message | useFlashMessage |
Toggle | OFF | When set to ON, this setting displays a notification to end-users when the workflow follows this link. |
| ↳ Flash Message | flashMessageText |
Text input | — | The notification message to display. Visible when Use Flash Message is ON. |
| ↳ Make Flash Message Dismissable | flashMessageDismissable |
Checkbox | ☐ | When checked, this setting lets end-users dismiss the notification. Visible when Use Flash Message is ON. |

Drop-down | — | The visual style of the notification. Options include: Success, Info, or Danger. Visible when Use Flash Message is ON. |
Connection Rules
- The Inclusive Gateway Split node requires at least two output links.
- The workflow must contain an equal number of Inclusive Gateway Split and Inclusive Gateway Join nodes.
- All output paths must reach the same Inclusive Gateway Join node. Output paths cannot contain End nodes, Handoff nodes, Inclusive Gateway Split nodes, or Parallel Gateway Split nodes.
- Each node can only belong to one output path from an Inclusive Gateway Split node.
- Nodes outside the parallel process cannot connect to nodes inside it, and nodes inside cannot connect to nodes outside it.
