Tick

Overview

The Tick Component generates a timestamp and sends it as an output message. It is primarily used for triggering workflows or measuring execution timing.

Usage

This component emits a tick event whenever it is executed, providing the current timestamp.

Output Ports

Port	Description
out	Sends a message containing the current time.

Output Properties

Property	Type	Description
time	string	The timestamp when the tick event occurs.

Processing Logic

1. Generates Timestamp: Captures the current date and time.

2. Sends Output: Emits the timestamp as a message on the out port.

Notes

• Simple Trigger: Can be used to initiate processes at set intervals.

• Time Tracking: Useful for logging execution times and tracking workflow steps.

• Workflow Synchronization: Can be used in test workflows requiring timestamped execution.

This component is ideal for generating time-based events and tracking workflow execution timing.
