The Sequencer acts as a traffic controller for your workflow. It allows you to merge multiple incoming connection cables into a single point, or branch a single path out into multiple, clearly ordered action chains.
Managing Output Paths
Unlike standard nodes that have a fixed number of connections, the Sequence node is fully customizable:
- Add Outputs: Click the “+” button to add new output ports to the right side of the node.
- Remove Outputs: Click the “-“ button to remove the most recently added output port. The node will always retain at least one output port.
Execution Order (Important)
When the workflow reaches this node, it does not trigger all connected output paths at the same time. Instead, it processes them in a strict, sequential order:
- It looks at the very first output port (top-most) and runs the entire chain of actions connected to it.
- It waits until that entire specific chain is 100% completed.
- Only then does it move to the second output port and trigger the next chain, continuing this process until all connected ports have been executed numerically.
Example Use Case
If you are generating mockups and want to save both a high-resolution PSD and a compressed JPG of the same file into two different folders, you can connect the document to a Sequence node.
- Connect the first output to a Save Document node configured for PSD.
- Connect the second output to a Save Document node configured for JPG. The Sequence node ensures that the PSD is safely saved before the system even attempts to process the JPG.
