Breakpoint

Breakpoint pauses a Multi FileFeed (MFF) run at a specific point in the MFF so a person can review the data before it continues downstream. This is useful for adding a manual checkpoint before sensitive transforms or before final delivery.

Availability: Requires the WorkflowsBreakpoint feature. Contact your OneSchema support representative if you do not see this transform.

What it does

Input: files or lists.
Output: the same files or lists, unchanged, released downstream only after a reviewer approves the run.

When to use it

You want a human to spot-check data (for example, AI-extracted or AI-categorized values) before it reaches validation or delivery.
An MFF feeds into a sensitive system and you want an approval gate before data goes out.
You are rolling out a new upstream transform and want to review its output for a period before fully automating the run.

How to configure it

In the MFF builder, add a Breakpoint node at the point in the MFF where you want the run to pause. Breakpoint has no configurable settings — simply placing the node in the MFF is enough to introduce a review step. When a run reaches this node, it pauses and waits for a reviewer to approve or reject it before continuing.

Example

Input

A CSV list that has just been processed by an AI-based transform, such as Categorize data.

Output

The same CSV list, held at the breakpoint until a reviewer approves the run, at which point it passes through unchanged to the next transform.

Troubleshooting

The run seems stuck

This is expected behavior: a run at a Breakpoint node waits indefinitely for a reviewer to approve or reject it. Check the run's review queue to take action.

Reviewers aren't seeing the run to approve

Confirm the reviewer has access to the MFF and check your notification settings. Contact your OneSchema support representative if the run doesn't appear in the review queue.
