What is Before commit and After commit Microflow?

Question

Accepted Answer

Before commit and After commit Microflows are used in Mendix to perform actions before and after committing changes to the database.

Before commit Microflows are executed before the changes are committed to the database.
They are used to perform validations, calculations, or any other actions that need to be done before saving the data.
After commit Microflows are executed after the changes are committed to the database.
They are used to perform additional actions, such as sending notifications, updating related entities, or triggering other processes.
Before commit Microflows can prevent the commit if certain conditions are not met.
After commit Microflows cannot prevent the commit, as the changes have already been saved.
Both types of Microflows can be defined at the entity level or at the module level.
Examples of Before commit actions: validating input data, calculating derived values, checking business rules.
Examples of After commit actions: sending email notifications, updating related entities, triggering workflows.
