Use End Flow within a branch of the flow to specify an exit condition. For example, end the flow when it reaches a specific If flow logic block. End Flow logic can be contained within a conditional flow logic block, such as an If, Else If, or Else flow logic block. Use this flow logic to stop a flow when certain conditions are met. You cannot add actions or flow logic after you use the End Flow flow logic. All branches of a flow are ended when a flow reaches the End Flow flow logic, including the Wait for a duration logic. Any branches that run in parallel also stop their progress when you use the End Flow flow logic. ## Inputs {#flow-logic-end-action__section_l13_mp2_t2b} This flow logic has no inputs. ## Outputs {#flow-logic-end-action__section_ajf_mtb_1cc} This flow logic has no outputs. When this flow logic ends a flow or subflow, it sets the state to Completed. Subflows that end can only return an output value to a parent flow if there was an Assign subflow outputs flow logic prior to the End subflow flow logic. ## General guidelines {#flow-logic-end-action__section_yqq_mp2_t2b} Use the general guidelines when adding an End flow or End subflow flow logic. Assign subflow outputs prior to End subflow flow logic : If a subflow always needs to return an output value to a parent flow, use an Assign Subflow Outputs flow logic prior to the End Subflow flow logic. By default, an ended subflow does not return any output values. Design parent flows to handle an ended subflow : If you call a subflow that has an end branch, make sure that the calling flow can handle not receiving subflow output. It is up to the flow and subflow author to pass data between flows. ## Request Ad hoc Approval subflow {#flow-logic-end-action__example_rtv_y5b_1cc} This example subflow supports adding arbitrary approvals from a Playbooks activity. The wait condition in steps 5 to 6 checks the flow data record for an end state such as cancelled, complete, error, or skipped. When the flow data record enters one of these states, the subflow ends without assigning any outputs. When the subflow reaches this branch, it stops the subflow and sets the state to Completed. The actions in other branches are not run. **Related concepts** * [Assign subflow outputs flow logic](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/Vi2xufmkKFPMynJkLOlALA "Specify the data the subflow returns when it completes running.
