The sequence of events is the following:

1. Step Validation Rules - if any rule doesn't meet then an error is shown and you can't move forward
2. Step Actions - Step Actions are executed regardless of which connector a flow proceeds down
3. Connector Validation Rules - These rules are evaluated to decide which way/connector a flow should go by, if there are multiple connectors rules are met then the one with a higher order will be used
4. Connector Actions - When WR decided which connector it should go by this connector's actions will be executed before the next step becomes active

Note on Step Actions:

Step Actions can be executed before or after the Proceed in a Step. This means that you can specify when you want an action to be start when a Step becomes active:

• Before step = in this case an action will be executed once a step becomes active
• After step = in this case an action will be executed once a step is proceeded and all validation rules have passed successfully
