The sequence of execution is the following:

1. Step Validation Rules - if any rule isn't met then an error is shown and you can't move forward.
2. Step Actions - Actions that are placed inside a Step are executed regardless which way/connector a flow will go by.
3. Connector Validation Rules - These rules are evaluated to decide which connector a flow use (i.e. which path to take). If multiple connectors rules are met then the one with a higher order will be used (as defined in the Connector tab of the Step properties).
4. Connector Actions - Once WR has decided which connector to use, this connectors actions will be executed before the next step becomes active.

When an action is placed inside a Step, you can specify when you want an action to be executed when that step becomes active:

• before step = the action will be executed as soon as the step becomes active
• after step = the action will be executed after the step has been proceeded and all validation rules have passed successfully.
