An AsyncFlow is used to execute a second flow concurrently while the run is processing in the current flow. The second flow will be executed simultaneously as soon as a run for the current flow starts processing.
The Run Event Async step is based on the status of a run for the current flow and will execute the second flow concurrently.
A processed run can have a completed, completed with errors or failed status.
Illustrated in the image below is a flow where an AsyncFlow Run Event step is used.
